dirt in the ground (2023 remaster) - tom waits lyrics
[verse 1]
what does it matter, a dream of love or a dream of lies?
we’re all gonna be the same place when we die
your spirit don’t leave knowing your face or your name
wind through your bones is all that remains
[chorus]
and we’re all gonna be, yeah
i said we’re all gonna be, yeah, yeah
i said we’re all gonna be, yeah, yeah
i said we’re all gonna be just dirt in the ground
[verse 2]
the quill from a buzzard, the blood writes thе word
i wanna know am i the sky or a bird?
h*ll’s boiling over and hеaven is full
we’re chained to the world and we all gotta pull
[chorus]
and we’re all gonna be, yeah, yeah
i said we’re all gonna be, yeah, yeah
i said we’re all gonna be, yeah, yeah
i said we’re all gonna be just dirt in the ground
[verse 3]
now the k!ller was smiling with nerves made of stone
he climbed the stairs and the gallows groaned
and the people’s hearts were pounding
they were throbbing, they were red
he swung out over the crowd, i heard the hangman said
[chorus]
we’re all gonna be, yeah, yeah
i said we’re all gonna be, yeah, yeah
i said we’re all gonna be, yeah, yeah
i said we’re all gonna be just dirt in the ground
[verse 4]
now cain slew abel, k!lled him with a stone
sky cracked open and the thunder groaned
along a river of flesh, can these dry bones live?
take a king or a beggar and the answer they’ll give
[chorus]
is we’re all gonna be, yeah, yeah
i said we’re all gonna be, yeah, yeah
i said we’re all gonna be, yeah, yeah
i said we’re all gonna be just dirt in the ground
we’re all gonna be just dirt in the ground
we’re all gonna be just dirt in the ground
i said we’re all gonna be just dirt in the ground
well, we’re all gonna be just dirt in the ground
