Oxidation

Another song I once recorded badly on a 4-track. This one is not so much changed from the original, just a better performance (I hope!) and recording.

Well I’m rusting away and I’m soon gonna die
‘cause my body is slowly being oxidized
and I’ll keep on deteriorating away ’till my day

When it finally gives out I want it dumped in the woods
’cause my body contains a lot of nourishing foods
like protein, calcium and fat - yes, plenty of that

When I die, don’t bury me
Just leave my rotting body out among the trees
When I die, don’t bury me
Just leave me floating with the fishes in the sea

Not afraid to die ‘cause I think I won’t know it
I’m reasonably sure that there’s no place we’re going
You’re born for a while then you die to stay, that’s the way
I don’t believe in heaven and I don’t believe in hell
but I do believe my rotting body’s really gonna smell
we’re only here temporarily

When I die…
