Need No Grave

Hey sorry 'bout the sight of me Guess I couldn't take the things I've seen Didn't leave a note Don't have relatives or folks Thought I could exit wordlessly But if there's anything my soul can do Do help you empty out this hallowed room I'll commandeer sunshine Until your afternoon unwinds To a paler shade of evening blue Hark the herald Homebound train Preach the good news Die in vain Plant a white birch in my name I need no grave Hey sorry about the extra work I bet you probably think this dude's a jerk Coulda done it in his home Coulda disappeared alone Coulda saw a shrink and healed his hurt But if you wanna know how low the stakes To solve this one and doner case Is the quiet was his plan And you've all had a helping hand In sneaking him past heaven's gates Hark the herald Homebound train Preach the good news Die in vain Plant a white birch in my name I need no grave Plant a white birch in my name I need no grave Hey sorry about the mess I made But at least you kept your maiden name Mine was too complicated anyway To spell or say But when the fuss and sadness dissipates I know you'll earn a stoic sense of grace One that says "I knew a guy That never had a reason why But I still loved all of his brave mistakes" Hark the herald Homebound train Preach the good news Die in vain Plant a white birch in my name I need no grave Hark the herald Homebound train Preach the good news Die in vain Plant a white birch in my name I need no grave Plant a white birch in my name I need no grave
