I'm softer than a lullabye
I'm stiffer than a board
I fall to my reflections
Like a Roman on his sword
Close your eyes and listen
Open your mind and then
We'll be bleeding
At the butcher's house again
At the butcher's house again
At the butcher's house
You're smaller than a miser's heart
You're deeper than the sea
Closing in around yourself
Repeating ceaselessly
As graceful as an albatross
You're colder than the sea
Closing in around yourself
And you're turning into me
Laughing in the abbatoir
We're weeping at the zoo
I'm holding up the mirror
But all I see is you
Close your eyes and listen
Open your mind and then
We'll be bleeding
At the butcher's house again
I'm softer than a lullabye
I'm stiffer than a board
I fall to my reflections
Like a Roman on his sword
Close your eyes and listen
Open your mind and then
We'll be bleeding
At the butcher's house again
At the butcher's house again
At the butcher's house again
At the butcher's house again
At the butcher's house
