Country Joe And The Fish Lyrics of the Death Sound Blues track

I hear that death sound, baby,

Oh, like an echo in my brain.

I hear that death sound, baby,

Oh, like an echo in my brain, brain.

Well, there's a part of us dying,

You know that things will never be the same,

Ah, never be the same!

I feel the black nails a-poundin' now,

Yes, into the coffin of our love.

Hear the black nails a-poundin' now,

Yes, into the coffin of our love.

Well, like a black shrouded hunter now,

Don't you know that I have killed a snow white dove,

Oh, I've killed the dove.



Well, the time sands keep a-fallin' now

On towards our ending day.

Yeah, the time sands keep a-fallin'

Towards our ending day.

I see the minutes chasing the hours,

Yes, to the words that we should say,

Ah we should say.
