Shallow Grave Lyrics

the Mountain Goats 17 views
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
