They're shaking in town, but it'll let up
So harden the heart, and pull away
What's deep in the ground will never get up
So carry it out, and it'll stay

Out of the cypress, buried and wrapped up
Covered and dried out and given away

To whatever comes after the living
And killing with all the little waves
Breaking and crawling and beginning
To forget it all in every way

Out of the cypress, buried and wrapped up
Covered and dried out and given away
Away, away

Laden down now, stinking and withering out
Rolling out and thinking back
But where are we now?
Laden down now, stinking
Withering out underground

They're shaking in town, but it'll let up
So harden the heart, and pull away
What's deep in the ground will never get up
So carry it out, and it'll stay

Out of the cypress, buried and wrapped up
Covered and dried out and given away
Away

Out of the cypress, buried and wrapped up
Covered and dried out and given away
Away, away
