Death Sound Blues Lyrics

Country Joe & The Fish Death Sound Blues

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.
well, there's a part of us dying,
you know 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 a dove!
Well, the time sands keep a-fallin' now
on toward 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!
