poi dog pondering - bury me deep (1987) lyrics

[verse 1]
a lifetime of accomplishments of which the dirt knows none
only in death can one truly return
return the carrots, the apples and potatoes
the chickens, the cows, the fish and tomatoes
in one glorious swoop, let the deed be done
and bury me deep so that i can be one

[instrumental break]

[verse 2]
and all around my muscle and all around my bone
don’t incinerate me or seal me from
the dirt that bore me, the bed that which from
the rain falls upon and the fruit comes from
for the dirt is a blanket, no fiery tomb
no punishment, reward, or pearly white room
and you who prophesize that in death we will pay
the dead they can’t hear a word that you say
your words are not kind, sober or giving
they only put fear in the hearts of the living
so put away your tongue, roll up your sleeves
pick up that shovel and bury me deep
put away your tongue and roll up your sleeves
pick up that shovel and bury me deep
bury me deep
bury me deep
