Lyrics Modest Mouse

Modest Mouse

Dig Your Grave

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 if my freetime's gone, would you promise me this?

That you will please bury me with it?

Please bury me with it

Well sure as planets come, I know that they end

And if I'm here when that happens, will you promise me this my friend?

Please bury me with it

I just don't 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 I kept it really clean

But if it's getting' faded, if it's runnin' outta thread

Could you just do this for me my friend?

And please just please bury me with it?

Please bury me with it

Well we moved to the left and 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?

Would you 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 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

We were aiming for the moon. We were shooting at the stars

But the kids were just shooting at the busses and the cars

So don't drink the water, don't you breathe the air

If it's gotten to that point then I have to declare

That you 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

We are hummingbirds who are just not going to move

And there's good news for people who love bad news

We are hummingbirds who've lost the plot and we well not move

We have great news for anyone who loves bad news
