Phoenix - Funky Squaredance lyrics

Hopeful days and stormy nights

I ain't got much to win, not much to lose

Under the burden of my loneliness

It feels so hard to win, so hard to lose

I won't enjoy my collection of stamps

When I'm six feet under the ground

Lonely streets and dusty roads

Lord it's a long way to go back home

Under the burden of your heart of stone

You shrug your shoulders as I decompose

Please keep a eye on those red haired boys

Someday they'll play drum with my shinbones

Now your chewing-gum on my coffin

Take me where I long to be

I can't believe that you want me to wear

The evening tails that will fit my corpse

I don't need a tuxedo

There's no bouncer in the after world

I only just left my dying bed and

Your making curtains out of my shroud

Don't you dig my grave with some excavator

Use a blood stained sword and a snow-white horse..please..

A last ride in the city's hearse

Few miles away from heaven above

A few more minutes 'till they bury me

A few more weeks 'till worms lick my bones

I won't enjoy my collection of stamps

When I'm five feet under the ground

Stormy days and lonely nights

Lord it's a long way to go back home
