Testo El Degas

Testo El Degas

Dried up and all alone
Shrouded in dust
Between a dead man's junk
This shady coffin lays untouched

Dig it up
Dig it out
Into the light
I've seen this shape before
So gravely I carry it outside
And it's all right

Hey hey hey
Let me take you away
I'd die if I left you today
And it's ok

He left Commercial Drive
Went down to Mexico
Last seen with a needle in his arm
So baby, you gotta let it go

Some say he might come back
I say he won't
He drew the curtains close
A label tied to his toe
So let it go

Hey hey hey
Let me take you away
I'd die if I left you today

Hey hey hey
Let me try take his place
I'll buy us some strings and we'll play

The night away
In streets, in bars
And underneath the stars
Hands caress
What they all mistook for dead
By fires and tides
You'll feel alive
You're revived
And it's all right
