lyrics

JON:
Lara and myself, we were still inside
When our mother died

LARA:
Inheriting a tragedy
Now it's holding on to you and me

JON:
Married in the belly of a failing host
To the Holy Ghost

LARA:
The doctor sent a scalpel through
Now it’s holding on to me and you

BOTH:
And our father banged his ribs
When he dumped us in the crib
When his twins have gone to bed
He’ll be talking to the dead

We are the necromancer’s kids

JON:
“The secrets of the future are the fruit of the dead”
That’s what father said

LARA:
Establishing his clientele
And then we became his personnel

JON:
Demon divination by the candlelight
Just a business rite

LARA:
And pining for our mother’s shade
She’s the only spirit he forbade

BOTH:
We’re the sum of what we lack
So we decked ourselves in black
When our father goes to bed
We’ll be talking to the dead

We are the necromancer’s kids

Then our mother’s ghost assembled in the room
And with loveless grace informed us of our doom

JON:
Sister, I felt so cold, I thought I had died
Then the bastard found us, beat us alive
Oh we can never return, get in the car and drive

And take me anywhere that you want to go
We can drive real slow, let’s just leave Ohio

LARA:
Jon, you know it’s not your fault
Being born into a dead man’s vault

JON: Mother and the father and the ghost, amen
We are orphans now, we were orphans then

LARA:
And nothing can repay that debt
You forgive but you cannot forget

JON:
And you held your head and sighed,
“What a curse to be alive, but don’t ever, ever let me die”

BOTH:
We are the necromancer’s kids
We got tired of raising the dead
So we raised each other instead
