Shallow Grave Lyrics

Bury me in a shallow grave
Out behind the warehouse rave
And while you're having a smoke back there
You can think of me while you fix your hair

As you are, so once was I
Stealing time and trying to find
The shapes in the night sky
Shallow grave
Shallow grave
Shallow grave
Shallow grave

Bury me so the rain reveals
What the earth sought to conceal
Bones that hurt while they were down here
Flesh that waited till the coast was clear
Fingers poking up through the ground in the dawn
Like Carrie White's mom

Shallow grave
Shallow grave
Shallow grave, out in the middle of things
Shallow grave, go get a bucket of chicken wings
Shallow grave, and when you throw down the bones
Listen for the dial tone

When I've assumed my final form
Bury me while I'm still warm
Check the scene for prying eyes
You know legends live forever, but the camera never lies

And just so we're perfectly clear:
I was never here
Shallow grave
Shallow grave
Shallow grave
Shallow grave

Shallow grave
Shallow grave
Shallow grave
Shallow grave
