Death Van Lyrics by Jon Mckiel

Tonka War Cloud

2011

This old soul was a rusted wheel, it was a pack of dogs
I knew her and she got ill, it was a sickening time
When they take my body down to the mortuary they take my bones apart (?)
They’ll hook me to a machine, they’ll suck my body clean and all the insides for a short place anyway
Lying in the death van trying to go to sleep
The lights from the cracks come slipping through the sheets
Oh what a drag, the love we had, some drops in the sea of regret
I hope you never forget
When they take your body down to the cemetery, take your bones apart and close the gate
They'll hook you to a machine they'll suck your body clean
And all your insides will washout to the sea
Lying in the death van trying to go to sleep
The lights from the cracks come slipping through the sheets
Oh what a drag, the love we had, some drops in the sea of regret
I hope you never forget
Lifeboat captain is driving me home
