Bury Me With It (Jacknife Lee Remix)
[Verse 1]
We were shooting at a mountain of dirt
Well, nothing was broken, nothing was hurt
But I probably really should have been at work
But if my free time's gone, would you promise me this?
[Chorus]
That you will please bury me with it
Please, bury me with it
[Verse 2]
Well, the suit got tight, and it split at the seams
But I kept it out of habit, and I kept it real clean
But if it's getting faded, if it's running out of thread
Could you do this for me, my friend?
[Chorus]
And please, just please bury me with it
Please, bury me with it
Please, bury me with it
Pleasе, bury me with it
[Verse 3]
Well, we movеd to the left, and we moved to the right
And sure as hell we stayed out almost every single night
But if the party's over, if the fun has to end
Could you do this for me, my friend?
[Chorus]
Would you just please bury me with it
Please, bury me with it
Please, bury me with it
Please, bury me with it
[Bridge]
Good news for people who love bad news
We've lost the plot winning, we just can't choose
We are hummingbirds who are just not willing to move
And there's 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
[Verse 4]
We were aiming for the moon
We were shooting at the stars
But the kids were just shooting at the buses and the cars
So don't drink the water
Don't you breathe the air
And if it's gotten to that point, then I have to declare
[Chorus]
That you just please bury me with it
Please, bury me with it
[Verse 5]
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"
[Chorus]
Please, bury me with it
Please, bury me with it
Ah, shit now, please
Please, bury me with it
[Outro]
We are hummingbirds who are just not willing to move
And there's good news for people who love bad news
We are hummingbirds who've lost the plot and we will not move
We have good news for anyone who loves bad news
