Dark Dark Dark Lyrics - Singles - The Mekons

The twisted trees sing 

Dark, dark, dark 

Broken branches hidden 

Far down below 

The trees stare back 

And we burn in smoke 

Reflecting in the water like ghosts 

Drifting this way and that 

Far down below 

Dark, dark, dark 

The chrysalis fall spun silk unwinding 

A soft pillow of earth 

Standing over each blade of grass 

Telling it to grow 

I'll spread my wings 

For the man who had to know 

A marriage of angels and sinners 

Science and religion 

Looking for proof 

And some faith in you 

Far down below 

Dark, dark, dark 

High-flying donkeys have gone astray 

Satan's longing is here to stay 

The twisted trees sing 

Dark, dark, dark 

The twisted trees sing 

Dark, dark, dark 

Standing over each blade of grass 

Telling it to grow 

Far down below 

Dark, dark, dark 

Standing over each blade of grass 

Telling it to grow 

We'll spread our wings 

For the man who had to know 

Far down below 

Dark, dark, dark 

Far down below 

Dark, dark, dark 

Far down below 

Dark, dark, dark 

Far down below 

Dark, dark, dark
