Shady Grave Lyrics by The Walnuts

I’ll Clean My Ears When I Get Home

2019

And you will die
So your family plant you a headstone where they can cry
But you'll soon be left all alone in the background
Of those closer to life, the side of a pissing hound, next door to a mourning wife
But soon your stone will crack and fall and you'll hardly be remembered at all
So the kids will play on top of your kingdom of rumble
Until they're shoo'd away by parents sporting hardly any stumble
But the players are not cares and the sewers are not readers
Evermore your memory starts to pеter
When you werе a baby you were all gums and tongue
And then you got a little older and made some teeth
Then you got much older and you were all gums and tongue again
And you missed your bony friends
So now through your empty mouth in the dirt, a tree begins to sprout
And it will grow until it touches the cloud
With branches so thick and leaves so wide it shades the entire town
And you will be the place to sit and picnic
When your neighbors have family visit
You'll be the meeting place
Mourner's social space
You'll be that broken grave in the shade
