Maria's Ghost Songtext
von Sleeping in the Aviary

Me, I held Maria while she struggled on the bed
She forgot the safety word and now she′s dead
Locked the cuffs and I tied her tightly just like she said
Made me leave her overnightly, now she's dead
Lips like fresh cut honeydew
Dried and cracked, now cold and blue
Oh doobydoo
Me, I taught Maria all the joys of ball and gag
Bound in pleasure, toes curled under, now she′s dead
Sunday mornings she would whip me right up to the edge
I would grip and grin in silence but now she's dead


Lips like fresh cut honeydew
Dried and cracked, now cold and blue
Oh doobydoo
Me, I know Maria's ghost will haunt me to the end
Wake me up inside my slumber, whispering
Words of silence, strangled beauty, none more truly said
And still you know I laughed right through it
I wanted to be dead
Lips like fresh cut honeydew
Dried and cracked, now cold and blue
Oh doobydoo
