Sink! Sink!

I was lying there dying in a hospital room in the hospital bed where I lay

Oh, just lying there dying in a hospital room

When I turned to my mother, took her hand and kind of struggled just to say:

I hope they bury me beneath the ocean

I hope they throw my body to the waves

All the fishes that I meet will have a fresh supply of meat

My body will sustain them like their flesh once sustained me

Oh, I hope they bury me beneath the sea, sea, sea

Oh, I hope they bury me beneath the sea

I hope they lay my body in an orchard

When it finally comes my time to die

All the worms can find a home digging holes into my bones

They will all live happily there somewhere deep inside of me

Oh, I hope they bury me beneath the trees, trees, trees

Oh, I hope they bury me beneath the trees

Oh, my mother I love you so

So take my hand before I go

I’ll be fine on the other side alone

I hope they freeze my body in a chamber

For research in some scientific lab

As an experimental tool to cure diseases oh, so cruel

And bring an end to the toils and their labor

Oh, I hope they freeze my body in a chamber, chamber, chamber

Oh, I hope they freeze my body in a chamber

Oh, my mother I love you so

So take my hand before I go

I’ll be fine on the other side alone

Oh my mother, hold me close until my flesh turns into ghost

I’ll be fine on the other side alone
