Darklands
Jesus And Mary Chain · Other Songs - Jesus And Mary Chain
I'm going to the darklands
to talk in rhyme with my chaotic soul
as sure as life means nothing
and all things end in nothing
and heaven i think is too close to hell
i wanna move, i wanna go
oh, i wanna go
doo-doo-da-doo-doo-doo
doo-doo-da-doo-doo-doo
doo-doo-da-doo-doo-doo
doo-doo-doo
i, something won't let me
go to the place where the darklands are
and i awake from dreams
to a scary world of screams
and heaven i think is too close to hell
i wanna move, i wanna go
oh, i wanna go
doo-doo-da-doo-doo-doo
doo-doo-da-doo-doo-doo
doo-doo-da-doo-doo-doo
doo-doo-doo
take me to the dark
oh god i get down on my knees
and i feel like i could die
by the river of disease
and i think that i'm dying
and i'm dying
i'm down on my knees
oh, i'm dying
i wanna go, i wanna stay
oh, i wanna stay
doo-doo-da-doo-doo-doo
