lyrics

Give me bread, give me bread
Or give me something else instead
Give me bread, give me bread
Or lay a crown upon my head
I’m a dead man in a coffin
I don’t come around that often
But won’t you lay a kiss upon my cheek?

Give me bread, give me bread
Or give me something else instead
Of that, I’m a cat
And I live inside a magic witch’s hat
Won’t you come and tip me over?

Give me bread, give me bread
Or tell me where the dark path led
When you went down in the moonlight
You gave me such a good fright
Not to know if you would come back home

Give me bread, give me bread
Or tell me what the devil said
When he gave you all your power
Deep in the midnight hour
Silky ghosts around your little face

Give me bread, give me bread
Or show me that my blood’s still red
Not black, like the spell that you cast
Oh I’m certain that the last
Thing I’ll ever do is love you.
