the fool Video (MV)

Sex crept into my room like a madman with a head cloud miles thick
And it came in me heavy and quick, and we loved for a bit

Loss came into my room like a prophet and it gave me a blessing to die
Not a hell of a lot by my side, still I love and I've loved and I

I've dug desire a grave, for you I've slaved

Light crept into my room like a joker
And the fool went and called me its king
Every day is a hell of a thing, still I go listening

To the wild dogs who bark in the graveyard
You would think they were barking at me
And the fool said, how could that be? But I know, yes I know 'cause we

We've dug desire a grave, for you i've slaved

Well when the fool went and made a lover, I drank his tea clear
I grew and i danced to the beats to the songs in his ears
Now I bark at the days that are dying
And you'd think i've gone dumb like a dog
I can bark at myself in the graveyard as the gravedigger shuffles along

I'll give desire away
Come on hand me a spade and i'll dig the fool's grave
For love I've slaved
