lyrics

Well I lost my only brother;
He fell into a hole.
I lost my only brother;
He fell into a hole.
I called the big king spirit,
To see if we could save his soul.

If you sleep in the graveyard, they say you'll see a ghost.
If you sleep in the graveyard, they say you'll see a ghost.
But if you sleep in the garden, you'll see the heavenly host.

Well I walked downstairs, I just woke up from a dream
When something pierced the night like a shivering scream.
I turned on the light, but the door opened wide
And the king of the spirits stepped right inside,
Said, "I can trick a bloody camera or a radio, and I
Just might follow you wherever you go, but if you
Keep your hands busy and your eyes straight ahead,
Then I might not take you to the realm of the dead."

So I won't look at you, if you're talking to me.
Don't ask me any questions, about what I might see.
Because the big king spirit, he might not let me be.

Well I lost my only brother, he fell into a hole.
I lost my only brother; he fell into a hole.
I called the big king spirit, to see if we could save his soul.

I call the big king spirit!
I call the big king spirit!
I call the big king spirit!
I call the big king spirit!
