lyrics

There’s a girl in the dining room with her vision pinned up to the roof
She hasn’t slipped a word to ear since the second one started to move

Linen for the orphan
Linen from the bed
Linen for the orphan
Wrap itself up around his head

Mother’s gone, but the child remains
The doctor has to balance the books
In a sheet, a shroud, a curtain
Pregnant with the body it took

Linen for the orphan
Linen from the bed
Linen for the orphan
Wrap itself up around his head

Mother sleeps with the devils and angels in the field of the storm and drum
It’s a mercy, no child should witness all the violence that’s sure to come

Linen for the orphan
Linen from the bed
Linen for the orphan
Wrap itself up around his head

Doctor, help this child close his eyes

Bye bye baby

Linen for the orphan
Linen from the bed
Linen for the orphan
Wrap itself up around his head
