lyrics

"A Singer Must Die"
That's what the poet once sang
Lovely, isn't it?

Dry your tears with me
Give it to me completely
And rest assured I will fall for you

"A Singer Must Die"
That's what the poet once sang
Lovely, isn't it?

Dry your tears with me
Give it to me completely
And rest assured I will for you

Little do we know

"A Singer Must Die"
That's what the poet once sang
Lovely, isn't it?

Dry your tears, dry your tears with me
And give it to me completely
And rest assured I will fall for you

So sleep a while with me
Dream a while with me
Let us
Let us break all their rules

"A Singer Must Die"
That's what the poet once sang
Lovely, lovely, isn't it?

Little do we know
Little do you know

You know so little
You know so little
But I know I know so much
Yes, I'm sure I know so much
Because I know where the birds all fly
And I know where the comets go
And I know where the car is parked
And I know why I'm afraid in the dark
And I know the singer must die
I said: "this singer must die"
This singer has to die
A singer must die
This singer has to die
This singer has to die
To die
He must die
He must die
