Graveyard Two-Step

[Verse 1]
Boots hit gravel
moonlight strobe on the stones
Fresh dirt under my nails
I’ve been dancing on bones
Rust on the gate
creak in a crooked slow spin
Every headstone watching
like it’s pulling me in
Cold sweat, zip tie halo
halo’s bent out of frame
Hear a giggle in the brambles
when it whispers my name
Grin wide, arms out
“Won’t you follow my feet?”
As the worms keep time
to the thump in the deep
[Chorus]
Graveyard two-step
shuffle in the ashes
Circle ‘round the crypt
till the whole sky crashes
Left, right, drag that chain
hear the dead keep score
We dance, they chant
and they call for more
Graveyard two-step
where the cold can’t sleep
If you step in time
you belong six feet
[Verse 2]
Red dress, mud hem
she’s a bloom in the rot (uh)
Lipstick, blood drip
smudge the cross on the plot
She says, “Boy, you scared
or you scared you’ll like this?”
Then she waltz through the smoke
with a blade on her wrist
Ribcage xylophone
knock when the beat hit
Names on the stones
and we rhyme ‘em like a hit list
Heels tap, skull crack
she grind in my face (woah)
“One last dance”
as she drag me from grace
[Chorus]
Graveyard two-step
shuffle in the ashes
Circle ‘round the crypt
till the whole sky crashes
Left, right, drag that chain
hear the dead keep score
We dance, they chant
and they call for more
Graveyard two-step
where the cold can’t sleep
If you step in time
you belong six feet
[Bridge]
[Beat drops to half-time, echoing bells]
Hands up high
if you hear them sing (hey!)
Shadow on your shoulder
breathing down your skin
One last spin
then the dirt comes down
Take a bow
you’re a legend underground
[Chorus]
Graveyard two-step
shuffle in the ashes
Circle ‘round the crypt
till the whole sky crashes
Left, right, drag that chain
hear the dead keep score
We dance, they chant
and they call for more
Graveyard two-step
where the cold can’t sleep
If you step in time
you belong six feet
