These Bodies are Built from Dirt

from The Dirt and the Sky by Cathouse Canary

/

lyrics

All across the planet
There are bodies and sounds
And the bodies are built
From the dirt from the ground
And the dirt plays host
To the people who yell,
“Man, what on earth am I doing here?
I said what the hell am I doing here?”

And the sound goes up to the sky,
And the sky doesn’t say anything.
And the sound goes up to the sky,
And the sky doesn’t say anything.
And the sound goes up to the sky,
And the sky doesn’t say anything at all.

Damn my salted eyes.

Our bodies are bent on raising hell,
‘Cause we couldn’t find a way to elevate.
So we put our brains in diving bells
To send them up, send them up.

And the sound goes up to the sky
(And the sound goes down to the dirt)
And the sound goes up to the sky
(And the bodies go down to the dirt)
And the sound goes up to the sky
(And the sound and the bodies go down to the dirt)
And the sky doesn’t say anything at all.
