Cherry Ghost - Dead Man's Suit

"Dead Man's Suit" by Cherry Ghost, off of the 2007 album "Thirst For Romance."



My heart ain't broken 'cause that implies
It was ever in one piece before tonight

Paradise is poison in my veins
Winter runs its fingers through the vapours that remain

Burn your books in the car
Fix your eyes on a star
And imagine you can handle the loss
Of a beautiful girl
Wrapped in black icy curls
Though your thoughts are like broken glass dragging you down

None of these roads ever lead
Ever gonna lead to your door
God knows I've been here before and
I don't need no long walk home down a loveless parade
Seems I was born in a dead man's suit
I was born in a dead man's suit

Drunken old Olympian in the blocks
Lousy on the trigger and his eye ain't on the clock
Feed me like a monkey and I'll swing
Deep inside the canopy where fire and ice are king

Burn your books in the car
Fix your eyes on a star
And imagine you can handle the loss
Of a beautiful girl
Wrapped in black icy curls
Though your thoughts are like broken glass dragging you down

None of these roads ever lead
Ever gonna lead to your door
God knows I've been here before and
I don't need no long walk home down a loveless parade
Seems I was born in a dead man's suit
I was born in a dead man's suit

Sister quick pull the cord
There's a horse on the ward
With a mouthful of diamonds for teeth
In a dusty old cape stands a man in its wake
Singing I got a woman that loves like an ocean and

None of these roads ever lead
Ever gonna lead to your door
God knows I've been here before and
I don't need no long walk home down a loveless parade
Seems I was born in a dead man's suit
I was born in a dead man's suit

Under trees that bear no fruit

[seldomseenkid100]

[superjonnyj]

it's not right that the last comment was made a month ago!

[ChrisRedford]

Lyrically one of the best songs I have ever heard. And its majestic on a (nearly) Sigur Ros level. So its all good.

[SoapClawtooth]

@Stig5440 It's about unrequited love. Being unable to not love someone who doesn't love you.

Cherry Ghost have only loose themes for their songs, the actual subject matter is whatever appears in

your mind whilst listening to it, allowing the song to be a changing thing.

[Stig5440]

What's this song about? Failure in love. Again and again.

A very powerful song this...LOVE it!! Looking forward to seeing them in Manchester next month, ive wanted to see them since "Thirst for Romance" came out. GREAT album!!

[varkostush]

If someone wahts to diss the tune then that is their call, you shouldnt be telling them not to express an opinion. Personally i think the tune is good, and i love We Sleep On Stones, but i dont expect everyone else to love it and i respect their right to say so if they think its kak!

It's incomprehensible. Why are Cherry Ghost not famous? They sure as hell deserve fame and fortune for their great music..
