Cremate me Deliver me to safety 00:21

So that when it’s spent maybe It will be my own 00:28

Scatter ashes Leave no marker where you plant it 00:36

So the hordes will be disbanded as they search On a treasure map for my headstone 00:42

Leave me to the beasts and bears I’d rather that the feast was theirs 00:50

They can’t reserve neighbouring plots Or request to be buried on top 00:59

Leave me for a day or two To make sure that I turn blue 01:06

For the first time since I drew breath, I’m undesirable again 01:13

I’ll tattoo it 01:33

Just so they think it’s ruined and if they think it’s ruined 01:36

It’s easier to save But please hurry 01:42

If you really love me you’ll dispose of me 01:50

Unceremoniously in the waves 01:56

Leave me to the trees and air I’d rather that the feast was theirs 02:03

They can’t reserve neighbouring plots Or buy cuttings of my priceless locks 02:10

Leave me for two days or three ’Til my fingertips turn green 02:18

For the first time since I drew breath I’m undesirable again 02:25

And they will come In such dismay 02:45

That they never did discover where I lay And I will burn 02:52

My flesh and form Screaming the words 03:02

“it will never be yours” I’ll take the flame over desecration 03:08

Promise you’ll make on these arrangements Don’t you dare think it’s overkill 03:17

I wouldn’t wish the watching on anybody So if for that reason only 03:27

Swear to me you will Leave me to the beasts and bears 03:37

I’d rather that the feast was theirs They can’t reserve neighbouring plots 03:50

Or request to be buried on top Leave me for a day or two 03:57

To make sure that I turn blue For the first time since I drew breath 04:05

I'm undesirable again 04:11

Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Cremate me Deliver me to safety

So that when it’s spent maybe It will be my own

Scatter ashes Leave no marker where you plant it

So the hordes will be disbanded as they search On a treasure map for my headstone

Leave me to the beasts and bears I’d rather that the feast was theirs

They can’t reserve neighbouring plots Or request to be buried on top

Leave me for a day or two To make sure that I turn blue

For the first time since I drew breath, I’m undesirable again

I’ll tattoo it

Just so they think it’s ruined and if they think it’s ruined

It’s easier to save But please hurry

If you really love me you’ll dispose of me

Unceremoniously in the waves

Leave me to the trees and air I’d rather that the feast was theirs

They can’t reserve neighbouring plots Or buy cuttings of my priceless locks

Leave me for two days or three ’Til my fingertips turn green

For the first time since I drew breath I’m undesirable again

And they will come In such dismay

That they never did discover where I lay And I will burn

My flesh and form Screaming the words

“it will never be yours” I’ll take the flame over desecration

Promise you’ll make on these arrangements Don’t you dare think it’s overkill

I wouldn’t wish the watching on anybody So if for that reason only

Swear to me you will Leave me to the beasts and bears

I’d rather that the feast was theirs They can’t reserve neighbouring plots

Or request to be buried on top Leave me for a day or two

To make sure that I turn blue For the first time since I drew breath

I'm undesirable again
