Priests and fools say
|
We are but animate clay
|
Rude vessels
|
Housing immortal souls
|
|
But the dead only quickly decay
|
They don't go about being born and reborn
|
And rising and falling like souffle
|
The dead only quickly decay
|
|
It would be swell
|
To see some folk burn in hell
|
But when they go
|
It's just pleasant to know
|
That the dead only quickly decay
|
