They're shaking in town, but it'll let up
So harden the heart, and pull away
What's deep in the ground will never get up
So carry it out, and it'll stay
Out of the cypress, buried and wrapped up
Covered and dried out and given away
To whatever comes after the living
And killing with all the little waves
Breaking and crawling and beginning
To forget it all in every way
Out of the cypress, buried and wrapped up
Covered and dried out and given away
Away, away
Laden down now, stinking and withering out
Rolling out and thinking back
But where are we now?
Laden down now, stinking
Withering out underground
They're shaking in town, but it'll let up
So harden the heart, and pull away
What's deep in the ground will never get up
So carry it out, and it'll stay
Out of the cypress, buried and wrapped up
Covered and dried out and given away
Away
Out of the cypress, buried and wrapped up
Covered and dried out and given away
Away, away
