Three For Silver Bury Me Standing Lyrics

[Verse]

I dodged the lightning but I'm still under a cloud
Lean back if I speak too loud
If I don't hide, no one can hunt me down

Fell off the map, went on the run
One story ended, another begun
Without a home no one can come around

[Chorus]

You'll have to bury me standing
You'll have to kick the day into the night
You'll have to drown me in that boiling sea
And bathe me in that cold cold light
You'll have to bury me standing
My suit on and my hat held tight
You'll have to drown me in the ocean
And bathe me in that fire's light

[Verse]

When I die I'm gonna sell out heaven, you can all go to hell
Hanging from the clapper of an old church bell
You'll never hear the one that's tolling for you

I like to sit in the dark 'cause it makes my thoughts bright
I like to call you up in the middle of the night
To hear your dreams coming through

[Chorus] You'll have to bury me standing
You'll have to kick the day into the night
You'll have to drown me in that boiling sea
And bathe me in that cold cold light
You'll have to bury me standing
My suit on and my hat held tight
You'll have to drown me in the ocean
And bathe me in that fire's light

[Verse]

Song of my soul, my voice is dead
You will die unsung like tears unshed
But I can't lose what was never mine

I may be a false king, but I am a true prophet
Not gonna leave this world 'til I watch it burn
Burn like the sun don't shine

[Chorus]

You'll have to bury me standing
You'll have to kick the day into the night
You'll have to drown me in that boiling sea
And bathe me in that cold cold light
You'll have to bury me standing
My suit on and my hat held tight
You'll have to drown me in the ocean
And bathe me in that fire's light
