[Intro]
You can spot him sneaking around the church
He's been alone for a year
The sadness took away all his senses
Sleeps by her headstone every night

[Verse 1]
There, near the bells, a stone is sleeping
And I alone can read it
And on the fence, a red cock
That once was your heart
The fear skewered unto this fence
Now I go digging every night
To see what still remains
Of the face that I amused

[Chorus]
There, near the bells, I spend the night
There between snails, a lonely animal
During the day I run after the night
For the second time, you escape me

Marry me
(Hey, hey, hey)
Marry me
(Hey, hey, hey)
Marry me
(Hey, hey, hey)
Marry me
(Hey, hey, hey)

[Verse 2]
I dig deep with my hands
To find what I miss so much
And as the moon is in it's most beautiful dress
Have kissed your cold mouth
I tenderly take you into my arms
But your skin tears like paper
And parts fall from you
For the second time, you escape me

[Chorus]
There, near the bells, I spend the night
There between snails, a lonely animal
During the day I run after the night
For the second time, you escape me

[Bridge]
Marry me
(Hey, hey, hey)
Marry me
(Hey, hey, hey)
Marry me
(Hey, hey, hey)
Marry me
(Hey, hey, hey)
Marry me
(Hey, hey, hey)
Marry me
(Hey, hey, hey)
Marry me
(Hey, hey, hey)
Marry me
(Hey, hey, hey)

[Outro]
So I take what's left
The night is hot and we are naked
As a curse, the cock greets the morning
I have chopped off its head
