lyrics

Death is winning
all the time
When i die
gotta burn the body
Sprinkle my
ashes on the highway
Let the traffic
Spread the ashes
In the ditches
And the overpasses
If you don’t
Burn my body
Drag my body
Down the highway
Spread me out
Wear me down
State to state
town to town
I don’t want no fancy funeral
I don’t want you to make no fuss at all
Turn the radio up
Throw the ashes out the window
Don’t stop
Don’t worry honey
Just let it go
Out the window
If i
If i were a ghost
I wouldn’t choose to haunt this place
I would
Float into the atmosphere
And into outer space
Or i
Would find myself a hurricane
And join into the storm
I would
Take my little vapor
And add into its form
I don’t want no fancy funeral
I don’t want you to make no fuss at all
Turn the radio up
Throw my ashes out the window
Don't stop
Don’t worry honey
Just let it go
Out the window
Let it go
Out the window

Just saw them performing much of this album on their west coast tour. San Diego and Pioneertown dates. Didn’t know any of them lol. I’m all about their old shit but I like this. Playing it more and more. Appreciate the evolution of one of my favorite bands in the world since middle school! 🖤 Red
