Dark Dark Dark - Mekons

The twisted trees sing

Dark, dark, dark

Broken branches hidden

Far down below

The trees stare back

And we burn in smoke

Reflecting in the water like ghosts

Drifting this way and that

Far down below

Dark, dark, dark

The chrysalis fall spun silk unwinding

A soft pillow of earth

Standing over each blade of grass

Telling it to grow

I’ll spread my wings

For the man who had to know

A marriage of angels and sinners

Science and religion

Looking for proof

And some faith in you

Far down below

Dark, dark, dark

High-flying donkeys have gone astray

Satan’s longing is here to stay

The twisted trees sing

Dark, dark, dark

The twisted trees sing

Dark, dark, dark

Standing over each blade of grass

Telling it to grow

Far down below

Dark, dark, dark

Standing over each blade of grass

Telling it to grow

We’ll spread our wings

For the man who had to know

Far down below

Dark, dark, dark

Far down below

Dark, dark, dark

Far down below

Dark, dark, dark

Far down below

Dark, dark, dark
