STRANGE GRAVES

How many times will the world rock and roll
Before it finally breaks asunder?
And how many mixed up little piles of debris
Will you and I be buried under?

Could be lots of papers, all kinds of books-
Five million files from the FBI,
Could be lots of trash, the frozen desert sands
The dust in the wind, the particles of man
Or it could be guns with high-explosive shells
Buried in a tank or a plane wreck on a hill

A strange grave here
A strange grave there
All graves are strange!

And how many times will I see you fall
Before you finally go under?
And how many mixed up little piles of debris
Will you and I be buried under?

Could be TV dinners filled with MSG,
Could be rotten corn chips that taste like Auschwitz,
Could be drunken driving down the highway to the end,
Could be lots of lovers, but never any friends,
Could be lots of plastic do-dads and souvenirs
Could be tortured memories swallowing your years

A strange grave here
A strange grave there
All graves are strange!
