Bury Me Slowly
Got a retainer
It doesn't fit now
But I had teeth once
Different from these ones
I got a loaner
Out in the driveway
I lost my own car
She's strewn cross the highway
Gimme a reason
Gimme me a footnote
Tell me I'm yours
Or tell me that I won't
Be in the morning
When I'm up early
Telling you straight
That I meant to get dirty, ooh
Bury me slowly
I got a long way left to go
I'm feeling mostly
One hell of a pull from down below, ooh-oh
Bury me slowly
I got a long way left to go
I'm feeling mostly
One hell of a pull from down below, ooh-oh
Ooh-oh
Ooh-oh
Ooh-oh
I hid in the bathroom
Next to my brother
While I was listening
To sounds of my mother
Learning the lesson
Somebody taught him
Time out of mind
But that wheel keeps on turning
I know what you're thinking
I know what you do
I got a lot riding on you
I prayed to God
"Don't let me grow to be
The bottomless monster
That I have seen" ooh-oh, oh
Bury me slowly
I got a long way left to go
I'm feeling mostly
One hell of a pull from down below, ooh-oh
Bury me slowly
I got a long way left to go
I'm feeling mostly
One hell of a pull from down below, ooh-oh
Ooh-oh
Ooh-oh
Ooh-oh
Now I am quiet
No one can hear me
Faded to nothing
Barely a memory
But I'll be up early
Just like I said so
Looking for reasons
Looking for footnotes
No one believes me
But I think I'm good
I think I'm worth it
And I wish you could
Pick me up right here
Speed through the stoplights
And don't stop driving
'Til we get all right
It doesn't fit now
But I had teeth once
Different from these ones
I got a loaner
Out in the driveway
I lost my own car
She's strewn cross the highway
Gimme a reason
Gimme me a footnote
Tell me I'm yours
Or tell me that I won't
Be in the morning
When I'm up early
Telling you straight
That I meant to get dirty, ooh
Bury me slowly
I got a long way left to go
I'm feeling mostly
One hell of a pull from down below, ooh-oh
Bury me slowly
I got a long way left to go
I'm feeling mostly
One hell of a pull from down below, ooh-oh
Ooh-oh
Ooh-oh
Ooh-oh
I hid in the bathroom
Next to my brother
While I was listening
To sounds of my mother
Learning the lesson
Somebody taught him
Time out of mind
But that wheel keeps on turning
I know what you're thinking
I know what you do
I got a lot riding on you
I prayed to God
"Don't let me grow to be
The bottomless monster
That I have seen" ooh-oh, oh
Bury me slowly
I got a long way left to go
I'm feeling mostly
One hell of a pull from down below, ooh-oh
Bury me slowly
I got a long way left to go
I'm feeling mostly
One hell of a pull from down below, ooh-oh
Ooh-oh
Ooh-oh
Ooh-oh
Now I am quiet
No one can hear me
Faded to nothing
Barely a memory
But I'll be up early
Just like I said so
Looking for reasons
Looking for footnotes
No one believes me
But I think I'm good
I think I'm worth it
And I wish you could
Pick me up right here
Speed through the stoplights
And don't stop driving
'Til we get all right
