Charon's Obol

At midnight, the dogs gathered around the house

Around her house (ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh)

Her heart was like a drawer

She only opened when she went out to feed those dogs

And let her memories bathe, in the moonlight for a while (ooh-ooh-ooh)

Those were the dogs owned by the girls who died in that house (ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh)

Meeting every night, keeping vigil in the place (oh)

Where their people went away

And so she′d wake the rest of her nights in that house

Feeding all the hounds at it's mouth

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh

Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh

Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh

On her first night wandering around the dark (ooh-ooh-ooh)

Of her new house (ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh)

Solemn as a bride

That′s when she first saw them (ooh)

Out the kitchen window, right at 12 o'clock (ooh)

A dozen silent dogs of all different type (ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh)

She almost was one of the girls

Who died in that house (ooh, ooh, ooh)

So when it was stigmatized

She took it on to start a new life in that house (ooh, ooh, ooh)

Be the token coin in it's mouth (ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)

Maybe with enough time, tending to that ground (ooh-ooh)

She can heal the heart of her house (ooh)

Feeding all the hounds at it′s mouth (ooh)
