Digging for Kanky – Body Bags Lyrics

If you come from riches or you’re wearing rags,
We look the same inside our body bags
Blank expressions look like melted wax
With frozen toes our names go on the tags
We go to sleep
We go to sleep
We go to sleep
We go to sleep
One of these days when you’re dead and cold
I’ma weigh you down
I’ma weigh down low
One of these days when you’re dead and cold
I’ma lay you down
I’ma lay down low
Laid down in a casket lined with linen and silk
Eyeballs swimming in milk and brine
A frosted glaze gets washed away with the change of the time in a blink of an eye
Your blood runs cold soon after it’s spilt
And it’s staining you lips like cinnamon wine
The body bag zip feels like it’s 100 years but it’s only a minute in time
The closing scene is the best kept secret
Front row seats to the curtain call
Earth looks dark when you’re sleeping beneath it
At home with the worms and the dirt and all
Retrospect is a beautiful thing but tomorrow is merely a glimmer of hope
So take control of the here and now as it’s lost to the breeze like wind and smoke
No Joke
If you come from riches or you’re wearing rags
We look the same inside our body bags
Blank expressions look like melted wax
With frozen toes our names go on the tags
We go to sleep
We go to sleep
We go to sleep
We go to sleep
One of these days when you’re dead and cold
I’ma weigh you down
I’ma weigh down low
One of these days when you’re dead and cold
I’ma lay you down
I’ma lay down low
