Noah And The Whale - Death By Numbers Lyrics
As our rotting bodiesPay back the earth its loveIn a vile fleshy matterWe'll crumble into dustI'll be picked up by the windAnd blown into strangers eyesDefuse into their bodiesAnd their tears when they cry'Til I have 5000 people carry me'Til I have 5000 people carry meOscar and LucyWill buy themselves a coffinOh a single box of woodThat, together, they will rot inAnd their bodies will decayAnd combine with one anotherOh a single act of loveFar greater than any otherAnd in death they'll leave just a part of themOh in death they'll leave one part of themOh when I'm minerals in the soilI'll diffuse into a treeIt'll have 5000 brancesWhich will have 5000 leavesAnd I'll be in every oneOh and when a leaf blows freeI will land upon the earthAnd grow another tree'Til I have 5000 trees made of me'Til there are 5000 trees made of meWhen Darkness surrounds meOh when darkness surrounds meOh when darkness is all I can seeWhen Darkness surrounds meOh when darkness surrounds meOh when darkness is all I can seeWhen Darkness surrounds meOh when darkness surrounds meOh when darkness is all I can seeWhen Darkness surrounds meOh when darkness surrounds meOh when darkness is all I can seeI will have 5000 bodiesI will have 5000 treesWhich will have 5000 branchesWhich will have 5000 leavesAnd I will have 5000 loversAnd I'll have 5000 beesMade of me
