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 hoardes 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'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 till my fingerprints turn green
For the first time since I drew breath, I'm undesirable again
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 all 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
