The Morticians Daughter by Coffin Varnish Lyrics

She was the mortician's daughter, out in the graveyard I caught her
Shovel in her hand and the moon on her long black hair
Trouble in her eyes and my heart stopped right then and there

She took me by the hand and said "Now we have to discuss;
You’ll be in my Father’s office if you don’t keep this between us."
Handed me a shovel and said "Dig up this grave
We’ll be here until the morning, and darling, I’ve got lives to save."

She has the most bеautiful eyes
And if she askеd me to you know I’d gladly die
Bury me alive and then dig me up for fodder
I’m in love with the mortician's daughter

I watched her bring a man to life on a table in a shed
I watched the way he came to life and he’d be better off dead
She took me by the hand and said, "Look at this my dear
I’ve been playing god and I’ll be better than him within a year."

And I nodded because she’s my deity
And I nodded because she’s the only thing I see
Looked at me excited, “We’ll be doing this commercially
Think how many people’d pay to get back their dead family."
How do I tell her that the town is gonna find her work abhorrent?
How do I tell her that she’ll be running against the current?

They found her early in the morning
She was dead by the time the sun when down
Killed her work, destroyed all of her notes
And when that was done, they burnt the shed to the ground

She was the mortician's daughter
Down in the graveyard I found her
Ashes of the shed, and blood in her long black hair

And I knew tomorrow I would end up there too
