Dig a pit and put your bones below Let your body lie alone Find the words to send by telegraph With an epitaph in tow Who's got the time To live their life before they die? You've got some nerve Leaving your words behind Words behind Set your ship to reach the farthest shore Where your fathers weep no more Carve your name upon a bed of stone Rest your head and lie below Who's got the time To live their life before they die? You've got some nerve Leaving your words behind Words behind You've got a mouth to feed And minds to read Hearts that bleed So let your body be Somebody like you belong to me Leave your words behind
