Cardboard Messiah
What could come of a cardboard messiah?
Flip a coin, is it heads or tails?
Work every day, chip away at your shoulder
One succeeds when his brother fails
Oh please, bury me
Deep beneath the ocean
Please bury me
At sea
What words are said in a final fleeting hour?
Smokey ash scuffing up the rails
Dig with a spoon while the onlookers stare at
The piss and blood and dirt beneath your nails
Oh please, bury me
Deep beneath the ocean
Please bury me
At sea
The tv and papers are yellow news
And everything else can be misconstrued
I guess that's true but...
All good will end and all bad will perish
Blast parade there's fire on the floor
Stand up real tall, you're the cardboard messiah
Avoid the rain and shuffle to the door
Oh please, bury me
Deep beneath the ocean
Please bury me
At sea
Flip a coin, is it heads or tails?
Work every day, chip away at your shoulder
One succeeds when his brother fails
Oh please, bury me
Deep beneath the ocean
Please bury me
At sea
What words are said in a final fleeting hour?
Smokey ash scuffing up the rails
Dig with a spoon while the onlookers stare at
The piss and blood and dirt beneath your nails
Oh please, bury me
Deep beneath the ocean
Please bury me
At sea
The tv and papers are yellow news
And everything else can be misconstrued
I guess that's true but...
All good will end and all bad will perish
Blast parade there's fire on the floor
Stand up real tall, you're the cardboard messiah
Avoid the rain and shuffle to the door
Oh please, bury me
Deep beneath the ocean
Please bury me
At sea
