Ballad Of A Deadman - David Sylvian

[00:24.93]Oh honey take me out I'm a deadman
[00:30.67]Oh baby bake me something sweet
[00:36.54]Oh honey take me out I'm a deadman
[00:42.58]Oh baby give me bread to eat
[00:47.74]
[00:48.66]There are places in the damp Northwest where
[00:54.30]The bodies lie down head to feet
[01:00.12]There were losses in the California sunshine
[01:06.29]Tell you stories that you can't repeat
[01:11.33]
[01:24.33]In the winter when the valley's flooded
[01:29.96]Those were times where the rooms were cheap
[01:35.83]The summer dirt lines the corner's of your pockets
[01:41.65]I'm still buried there ten feet deep
[01:46.95]
[01:48.91]Papa don't place this curse on me
[01:53.90]
[01:54.45]Heaven knows I can't use it
[02:00.38]Papa don't place this stone on me
[02:06.31]Mama there's no future in it
[02:11.19]
[02:23.61]We travel on the back roads lightly
[02:29.14]Through Castle City and the hills beyond
[02:34.50]
[02:35.33]Me and Joan on the Sacramento
[02:41.18]Me and Joan this is where we're from
[02:46.39]
[02:47.49]Oh honey take me out I'm a deadman
[02:53.14]Oh baby bake me something sweet
[02:58.78]Oh honey take me out I'm a deadman
[03:04.86]Oh baby give me bread to eat
[03:10.06]
[03:23.80]Papa don't place this curse on me
[03:29.42]Heaven knows I can't use it
[03:34.19]
[03:35.57]Papa don't place this curse on me
[03:41.25]Mama there's no future in it
[03:45.95]
[03:46.80]Oh honey take me out I'm a deadman
[03:52.28]Oh baby bake me something sweet
[03:58.24]Oh honey take me out I'm a deadman
[04:04.30]Oh baby give me bread to eat
[04:09.44]
[04:10.30]Oh honey where's the colours of the springtime
[04:16.05]The pale green of an organdy dress
[04:21.26]
[04:21.86]Her shadow grows in the California sunshine
[04:27.70]But nothing else in the south south-west
[04:33.71]
