| Description: |
A little ditty about the dead & dying...
|
| Lyrics: |
Sitting on a pile of dirt
Riding along, hummin' a song
Got a lot o' holes to fill
And many more to be dug still....
Walkin' on top of the dead
Clear blue sky, over my head
The sun is shining down on me
Yes, it's a beautiful day in the cemetery...
How on Earth did I get here?
Well, I never ever thought that this would be my gig
Traded my guitar for a shovel
I guess you could say it's a job I really dig...
Diggin' with the rest of the guys
Crackin' jokes & drawing flies
It's a job on which I can depend
My day begins when your days end...
Counting cars in a funeral
Is considered bad luck, so I try not to do it
Pay no mind to the numerals
When you're linin' 'em up in a neat little row...
You didn't read the floral decoration policy
So, now you come to bitch at me
I didn't mean to piss you off
Just doin' my job & I'm sorry for your loss...
So, put your plastic flowers on
Coz, come tomorrow they'll all be gone
You'll Go down to the dollar store
Think bad of me & buy some more...
You'd better get over dyin'
Before you end up lyin' six feet under with the rest
It's time to rejoin the living
What good is it to die paying last respects???
