BAMBARA - Death Croons Lyrics

Death orders a drink
Something pink with cherries and a sugar rim
He says "Make sure it's sweet"
He grabs his wallet from the shirt pocket
And two gold teeth clink in his empty glass
He rattles them around
An older woman in a stained sundress
Sits down right next to Death and says
"You got some fucked up eyes, but they seem wild"
Death takes off his glasses
Smiles as she flashes a big bag full of blow
Saying "The night's so slow
Wish this place would to explode"

He says, "I, yeah I, am not your kind"
(Come on baby, let's have some fun)
You'll see
(Come on baby, let's have some fun)
And you'll see, when you see me in the light
(Come on baby, let's have some fun)
I'll see you in the light
(Come on baby, let's have some fun)
Hey

He puts his glasses back on
Sees a lightning bug, blinking
Flipping around in her hair
He flicks it on the bar and stares
She says "I've never seen these things
Not around here, not this time of year"
Then she drowns it with her beer
Death's face lights up as she plucks
Each of its struggling wings and says
"I hear they're all dying
City lights too confusing"
Death's crooning

I, yeah I, am not your kind
(Come on baby, let's have some fun)
You'll see
(Come on baby, let's have some fun)
And you'll see, when you see me in the light
(Come on baby, let's have some fun)
When you see me in the light
(Come on baby, let's have some fun)
Hey

He looks at her dress
Thinks about wearing it
Tearing at seams
Stretching it on his fat body
Until the stain settles over his heart
But there's other relics in the trunk of his car
Countless years of collecting
Keeping his favorites close
This filthy flower print dress
Would fit in nice though
He drains his cosmo and says
"It's been a pleasure, but you gotta know"

I am not your kind
(Come on baby, let's have some fun)
You'll see
(Come on baby, let's have some fun)
You'll see, when I feel that it's your time
(Come on baby, let's have some fun)
When I feel its your time (come on baby, let's have some fun)

And what she says echoes (I'll be in the bathroom, waiting)
As he drives away (I'll be in the bathroom, waiting)
Fly squirming in the wind (I'll be in the bathroom, waiting)
As he drives away (I'll be in the bathroom, waiting)
Puts the blonde wig on his head (I'll be in the bathroom, waiting)
As he drives away
Laughing like a pig squeals (I'll be in the bathroom, waiting)
As he turns around
