lyrics

As I was walking the dark street of London
in a fog I wandered alone
I heard a rattle that came up behind me
and froze my flesh to the bone

there came a wagon with two black horses
and one lonely drive atop
and "Bring out your dead" was all that he said
and rattled away in the dark

there was a black band on his sleeve
a sure symbol of grief
and "Bring out your dead" was all that he said
but there haven't been wagons in centuries

As I was standing my mouth hung open
wondering if I'd gone spare
he stopped the wagon a few yards afore me
and turned to look back with a stare

his eyes were empty as two deep canyons
and black as the pit of the night
and "Bring out your dead" was all that he said
and I found my feet and took flight

he had a black cap and a whip
I prayed that I wouldn't slip
I could hear the wheel it was right on my heel
but I never looked back at it

Now if you go out walking on the streets of London
after the lights are all out
if you hear a rattle then just start a-runnin'
unless you have dead to bring out

there was a black band on his sleeve
a sure symbol of grief
and "Bring out your dead" was all that he said
but there haven't been wagons in centuries
