MODEST MOUSE - Bury Me With It lyrics

rate me

we were shootin at a mound of dirt

well nothing was broken nothing was hurt

but i probably really should have been at work

but when my free time's gone would you promise me this that you'll

please bury me with it

please bury me with it

well as sure as planets come i know that they end

and if im here when that happens just promise me this my friend

please bury me with it

please bury me with it

i just dont need none of that mad max bullshit

well the suit got tight and it split at the seams

but i kept it out of habit and kept it real clean

but if its getting faded, if it's runnin' outta thread

could you do this for me my friend?

please bury me with it

please bury me with it

well we moved to the left and we moved to the right

and sure as hell stayed out almost every single night

but if the partys over if the fun has to end

could you do this for me my friend and please just

please bury me with it

please bury me with it

good news for people who.. love bad news

we've lost the plot and we just can't choose

we are hummingbirds who are just not willing to move

and thats good news for people who love bad news

we are hummingbirds who lost the plot

and we will not move

we have good news for anyone

who loves bad news

we were aiming for the moon we were shooting at the stars

but the kids were just shooting at the buses and the cars

dont drink the water dont you breathe the air

and if its gotten to that point then I have to declare

please bury me with it

please bury me with it

well fads they come and fads they go

and god i love that rock and roll

well the point was fast but it was too blunt to miss

life handed us a paycheck, we said "We worked harder than this!"

please bury me with it

please bury me with it

oh shit now!

we are hummingbirds who are just not willing to move

and theres good news for people who love bad news

we are humminbirds who lost the plot

and we will not move

we have great news for anyone who loves bad news
