Cremate me Deliver me to safety So that when it’s spent maybe It will be my own Scatter ashes Leave no marker where you plant it So the hordes will be disbanded as they search On a treasure map for my headstone Leave me to the beasts and bears I’d rather that the feast was theirs They can’t reserve neighbouring plots Or request to be buried on top Leave me for a day or two To make sure that I turn blue For the first time since I drew breath, I’m undesirable again I’ll tattoo it Just so they think it’s ruined and if they think it’s ruined It’s easier to save But please hurry If you really love me you’ll dispose of me Unceremoniously in the waves Leave me to the trees and air I’d rather that the feast was theirs They can’t reserve neighbouring plots Or buy cuttings of my priceless locks Leave me for two days or three ’Til my fingertips turn green For the first time since I drew breath I’m undesirable again And they will come In such dismay That they never did discover where I lay And I will burn My flesh and form Screaming the words “it will never be yours” I’ll take the flame over desecration Promise you’ll make on these arrangements Don’t you dare think it’s overkill I wouldn’t wish the watching on anybody So if for that reason only Swear to me you will Leave me to the beasts and bears I’d rather that the feast was theirs They can’t reserve neighbouring plots Or request to be buried on top Leave me for a day or two To make sure that I turn blue For the first time since I drew breath I’m undesirable again
