Basically a body wasn't meant to fall
But it seems to be the state at which we all resolve
And it goes to show that's all you know
And it's haunted me haunted me
All the way all the way home
By the book a body wasn't meant to want
But all it took was a look at what his neighbor's got
And it goes to show that's all you know
And it's haunted me haunted me
All the way all the way home
I was born in a graveyard looking for a place to sleep
You got left in the garden swinging on the willow tree
Apparently a body wasn't meant to leave
But it makes believe somebody's going to want to grieve
And it goes to show that's all you know
And it haunted me haunted me
All the way all the way home
I was born in a graveyard looking for a place to sleep
You got left in the garden swinging on the willow tree
Out from my lungs comes a red forked tongue
That's quick on the draw like a caustic machine gun
Spitting blanks on the tails of the words that failed
To separate me from the one with the broken nails
And if you really want to know then talk to my cousin
Trying to get herself to heaven yelling God is coming
And if you really want to know I'm a lovesick orphan
Looking for a little loan but no one's paying
Please don't leave me in the ground
Please don't leave me in the ground
Please don't leave me in the ground
Please don't leave me in the ground
