More songs about death!
So I wanted to do a strum-along acoustic song and this was the result. Heavy influence from Neutral Milk hotel and TMBG per usual.
Lyrics:
G Em
In the bed where I sleep
C
In the car that I drive, there’s a feeling
D G
that creeps near the house where I live
G Em
All the food that I eat
C
and the drinks that I drink are all dead,
D Eb
except for the ones that are alive
Bb
The shoes where my feet go are moving me
F C
close to the job where I work, where my boss keeps the
G G/F# Em C
value of most of my labor till I find the
Am D G.. |N.C.
ground in the grave where I die
C
Where I die
The floor’s made of dirt and the walls are all dirt
D
and the ceiling is dirt
C
Where I die
someone may purchase a carved piece of
Am D.. |N.C. (bass walk: E, F#, G)
stone to put over my head
In the shower where I take a shower
so many ideas in my head where I think.
We could all work together to make what we needed
but money’s a thing, so I’ll kill you instead
through inaction
Now gaze on my terrible riches that
hide in the bank where our money is kept
from the homeless who simply don’t
know how to spend it
What if they waste it on need?
Where I die
The floor’s made of dirt and the walls are all dirt
and the ceiling is earth (which in turn’s made of dirt)
Where I die
my life insurance might be spent on
embalming goo we don’t need
In the field where the graves are all gathered
the only address you can stay at for free
I forgot that those plots are expensive so
C
Burn me, strip me, maybe wood-chip me, or
Am D G
Throw me, in the sea.
G Em7
What a beautiful grave I have found
