lyrics

Come on gather round, there’s a storm outside
There’s a tale to tell about a man who lied
And he left his bride there on his wedding night
To sail across the sea and there to fight
And I tried to make her happy as I kept her warm at night
But I know that she was lonely for her own
And when he died they brought her back his burnt black bones

Clap you hands! Clap your hands!
Claps your hands to the funeral band!
Clap your hands, come on, clap your hands!
We’re going way down, to the bottom of the world

Well we saved some wood and piano string
For the happy songs we forgot to sing
So come in close, it’s getting cold
Now the fires are down all around the town
Did I ever tell the story of my sweetheart Saint Marie?
The only thing she left us were her shoes
And when the fire dies down we can burn them too

Clap you hands! Clap your hands!
Claps your hands to the funeral band!
Clap your hands, come on, clap your hands!
We’re going way down, to the bottom of the world

Come on now the band’s about to play
We had our time and now it’s gone away
So boys and girls now if you please
Everyone get on your knees and pray...

Can you feel the beat? Filling up your ears?
Like a steady drum, like a rising hum
Now you can scream, if you are scared
But nobody will hear you for the beat in theirs
Everybody has a monster on the other side of the world
And every beat’s another step towards you
And when he’s right behind you he will STOP

Clap you hands! Clap your hands!
Claps your hands to the funeral band!
Clap your hands, come on, clap your hands!
We’re going way down, to the bottom of the world
To the bottom of the world
