[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
