[Verse 1]

Come inside my mausoleum

Light a candle on the pathway to my casket room

Step on through rusty iron archways

Where a pigeon lays that died without his lover

[Chorus]

So strange and beautiful

How you gaze upon my bones

A mistake, a tragedy

Since we missed each other by a century

[Verse 2]

They took my clothes and sent to a museum

All I am is dust and a handlebar mustachio

They took my guns, and horse and swords for history

But they kindly left a photograph of you and me

[Chorus]

Your dress, so beautiful

On those cliffs that took your soul

Though I reached for you as you drifted out to sea

Since we missed each other by a century

[Bridge]

Your fine lips, I would kiss you again

So don't be frightened by my skeleton

I'd kill to touch your soft, bony hands

But I can't because this is my lover's century

[Chorus]

So strange, and beautiful

How you gaze upon my bones

Before you leave me out to sea

I'll visit your bones next century
