Triple Sons And The One You Bury

Triple sons
Triple sons
Triple sons

Triple stuns
Triple suns
Triple stuns
Triple stones

As they skiff across the water
As they skiff across the water
As they skiff across the water
Triple stones

Necrodisiac, necrodisiac, someone in love
With the dead things in their lives
And you're gonna bring them home
And you're gonna bring them home
Are you gonna bring them home?
Are you gonna bring them home
With a triple son, with a triple sun, with a triple son?

I look into - whatever I look into, it just confuses the issues
The desert ??? in a pool, in a black pool of desert ???
There's triple suns, there's triple sons, there's triple suns
There's triple sons, there's triple suns, your triple sons
And how are you gonna bring them home?
And how are you gonna bring them home?
And how are you gonna bring them home?

In a gold-painted galleon
In a gold-painted galleon
In a gold-painted galleon
Triple suns, triple sons, triple suns
Triple sons, triple suns, triple sons

Triple sons with a resonance to rub against
With a ???
With a resonance to rub against the ???
With a resonance to rub against the ???
Oh, there's triple sons
Oh, those triple sons
Oh, those triple suns

The one you bury: the one bright red yew berry
If you're gonna bury them, bring them home first
(repeated)

And we swallow each new red berry
And we swallow each red yew berry
And we swallow each dead you bury
(repeated in various arrangements)
And we swallow each red you buried
(repeated in various arrangements)
The one you bury, the one yew berry
The single one yew berry

And I drank a cup of mercury this morning (repeated)
I drank a cup
I took a cup from a sip of mercury
And a sip from a cup of mercury
(repeated in various arrangements)
I took a cup from a sip of mercury
I took a cup from a sip of mercury
And then I ...???
I took a sip from a cup of mercury (repeated)

And I swallowed one new red berry
And I swallowed the one yew berry
And then I swallowed the one you bury
Then I swallowed the one you bury (repeated)
Then I took a sip from a cup of mercury
I took a sip from a cup of mercury
And I swallowed the one yew berry
I swallowed the one you bury
