Bury Me Standing -

I dodged the lightning but I’m still under a cloud

Lean back if I speak too loud

If I don’t hide, no one can hunt me down

Fell off the map, went on the run

One story ended, another begun

Without a home no one can come around

You’ll have to bury me standing

You’ll have to kick the day into the night

You’ll have to drown me in that boiling sea

And bathe me in that cold cold light

You’ll have to bury me standing

My suit on and my hat held tight

You’ll have to drown me in the ocean

And bathe me in that fire’s light

When I die I’m gonna sell out heaven, you can all go to hell

Hanging from the clapper of an old church bell

You’ll never hear the one that’s tolling for you

I like to sit in the dark 'cause it makes my thoughts bright

I like to call you up in the middle of the night

To hear your dreams coming through

You’ll have to bury me standing

You’ll have to kick the day into the night

You’ll have to drown me in that boiling sea

And bathe me in that cold cold light

You’ll have to bury me standing

My suit on and my hat held tight

You’ll have to drown me in the ocean

And bathe me in that fire’s light

Song of my soul, my voice is dead

You will die unsung like tears unshed

But I can’t lose what was never mine

I may be a false king, but I am a true prophet

Not gonna leave this world 'til I watch it burn

Burn like the sun don’t shine

You’ll have to bury me standing

You’ll have to kick the day into the night

You’ll have to drown me in that boiling sea

And bathe me in that cold cold light

You’ll have to bury me standing

My suit on and my hat held tight

You’ll have to drown me in the ocean

And bathe me in that fire’s light
