Death By Numbers
As our rotting bodies
Pay back the earth its love
In a vile fleshy matter
Well crumble into dust
Ill be picked up by the wind
And blown into strangers eyes
Defuse into their bodies
And their tears when they cry
Til I have 5000 people carry me
Til I have 5000 people carry me
Oscar and Lucy
Will buy themselves a coffin
Oh a single box of wood
That, together, they will rot in
And their bodies will decay
And combine with one another
Oh a single act of love
Far greater than any other
And in death theyll leave just a part of them
Oh in death theyll leave one part of them
Oh when Im minerals in the soil
Ill diffuse into a tree
Itll have 5000 brances
Which will have 5000 leaves
And Ill be in every one
Oh and when a leaf blows free
I will land upon the earth
And grow another tree
Til I have 5000 trees made of me
Til there are 5000 trees made of me
When Darkness surrounds me
Oh when darkness surrounds me
Oh when darkness is all I can see
When Darkness surrounds me
Oh when darkness surrounds me
Oh when darkness is all I can see
When Darkness surrounds me
Oh when darkness surrounds me
Oh when darkness is all I can see
When Darkness surrounds me
Oh when darkness surrounds me
Oh when darkness is all I can see
I will have 5000 bodies
I will have 5000 trees
Which will have 5000 branches
Which will have 5000 leaves
And I will have 5000 lovers
And Ill have 5000 bees
Made of me
