{Verse} Dig a pit and put your bones below Let your body lie alone Find the words to send by telegraph With an epitaph in tow {Chorus} Who's got the time To live their life before they die? You've got some nerve Leaving your words behind Words behind {Verse} Set your ship to reach the farthest shore Where your fathers weep no more Carve your name upon a bed of stone
Rest your head and lie below {Chorus} Who's got the time To live their life before they die? You've got some nerve Leaving your words behind Words behind {Bridge} You've got a mouth to feed And minds to read Hearts that bleed So let your body be Somebody like you belong to me {Outro} Leave your words behind
