Lyrics

Met you after midnight, at the cemetery gates You said "wanna see something wild?"—I couldn't wait Shared a sip of whiskey off somebody's grave 1823—"Eleanor, Beloved and Brave"

You traced my lifeline, said "it ends with me" I said, "baby, I already picked our symmetry" You laughed like angels breaking out of tune Now we slow dance under a jealous moon

We're gonna be twin skeletons When all the pretty fades away Twin skeletons Dancing on our wedding day Matching coffins, velvet-lined for two Forever's just beginning next to you Twin skeletons, twin skeletons That's me and you

Your kiss tastes like graveyard dirt and wine I carved our names in that old oak's dying spine You brought black roses, said "they match your soul" Now we picnic where the nameless grow cold

Planning our funeral like a honeymoon Reading eulogies by blood-red moon You're my favorite haunting, my sweetest curse Let's make death jealous, for better or worse

They call us morbid, call us strange But normal hearts are so deranged Meet me where the shadows play We'll outlive their Judgment Day Bone to bone, and dust to dust It's you and me—and that's enough

We're gonna be twin skeletons When all the color turns to grey Twin skeletons Waltzing where the corpses lay Save me a space in your sarcophagus blue Eternity sounds better next to you Twin skeletons, twin skeletons That's me and you

Meet me at the cemetery gates...
