lyrics

Dig my tomb and comfort me
Lay me down lightly and lie lazily
By my side and by my heel
I'll give them hell until I feel

Like some spirit
Took control
Is it good just to wonder
What I'll undergo
And what it is I'm fated for?

Rig the ruse and cajole me
Pity our fingers and my family
Should get by despite our keel
I'll be well until I feel

Like some snake is
Taking hold
Is it good just to wonder
When I'll grow old
And what is it I'm waiting for?

Lick my wounds and let me be
Leave me for dead and be relieved
I'll follow in his footsteps even if I feel
Forsook and frightened when it's all real

Like I'm stuck out
In the cold
Is it good just wonder
When I'll unfold?
