Blown up into black on white So calm against the darkness Daylight gone and the curtain down Lights off for the rest of life Haunted house and nameless thought Blackened mind and foul deeds done On the floor and locked indoors Last rites with the lonely wife With nothing on and standing stark So bold against the emptiness In nature’s state and body white Leave the bone and bleach the flesh Underneath she’s black Once the bride to be Now an exquisite corpse

Exquisite Corpse
Blown up into black on white So calm against the darkness Daylight gone and the curtain down Lights off for the rest of life Haunted house and nameless thought Blackened mind and foul deeds done On the floor and locked indoors Last rites with the lonely wife With nothing on and standing stark So bold against the emptiness In nature’s state and body white Leave the bone and bleach the flesh Underneath she’s black Once the bride to be Now an exquisite corpse
