lyrics

oh lord keep on movin
someday i'll be in a graveyard
oh lord keep on pushin
someday i'll give up this trust fund

my little neverending ghost
projected from its mortal host
it traveled miles in blinks of eyes
ignored its many mortal cries
never gonna keep it at bay, no
and hovered lowly round your head
and joined that sheet that lines the bed
rose and fell with every breath
kissed away an early death
never gonna keep it at bay

screw your eyes and the good sunshine
gonna pry your lids and crawl inside

so they're gonna get rid of social security
gonna pack my bags, shuffle my feet

lay my bones by bermuda grass
damn green grass, grow so strong
lay my bones by bermuda grass
don't grow too short, don't grow too long
someday i will be free of my woes
gonna spread my wings

my little oscillating fan
shakes hips as often as it can
ascended from the hand of man
and granted its reward to roam
it followed silver cords on home
called me on its telephone
screw your eyes, this is it

never gonna keep it at bay X2

say for national safety i'll get a microchip in my hand
gonna pack my shit and head for the hills

lay my bones by bermuda grass
damn green grass, grow so strong
lay my bones by bermuda grass
don't grow too short, don't grow too long
someday, i will be free of my woes
gonna pack my bags

there's a place i know of
over the mountain
across the river, by the bermuda grass
and if i make it to that year
where i can't see and i can't hear
whoa lord, keep on movin
