Dirt Nap

Post by jeff robertson »

Do ya think that you're the only one thats opened up your eyes?
Do ya think that you're the only one that knows you're gonna die?
Do ya think that we all think that we are gonna live forever?
Do ya think that we all think that we are gonna go to heaven?
Let me tell ya son I know you're not the only one
Who knows that everybodys headed for a dirt nap.

Ya sit around and picture what its like to not exist.
I'd think that you of everyone would get out there and live.
Ya spend your time alone and thinking about the lonely grave.
Acting like you're dead is how you spend your only days.
While its completely clear to nearly everybody here
That you're only getting closer to your dirt nap.

Do ya think that I need you to come and tell me that I'm worm food?
Do ya think that I don't know that I will probably die before you?
You better go and find yourself someone that cares about you.
You won't be around to know what the world is like without you.
Let me tell ya son I know you're not the only one
Who knows that everybodys headed for a dirt nap.

I've had no time to record it, but here's the lyrics. If anyone feels like using them or some of them, feel free.

Verse 1:
Forward to the future, where
Everything's clean, and
Work's a word for anything
Done by machine, got to
Get away.

Backward to a childhood, where
Everything's new, with
So much time to do it all and
Nothing to do, got to
Get away.

Chorus:
Running from, running to
Sleep in the gutter with
Me tonight
Freedom from, freedom to
Wish upon a satellite

Verse 2:
Some old show on TV, a
Simpler world, the
Hero kills the bad guy, and
Kisses the girl, got to
Find a way.

Try a foreign country, ex-
-otic and strange
Evening flaming sunset, and
Life on the range, got to
Find a way.

Bridge:
Dream kitchen
Dream home
Dream lover
Yours alone

Glamorous job
Holiday
Perfect wedding
Has to be a way

Dirt Nap by Balance Lost

Stumble drunk
Into a tree trunk
They don't mind at all
'cause we're only small

Go to sleep
Use the leaves
As a pillow
In the lunar glow

Bivouac
With the ants and rats
Moths and flies will swarm
Trying to keep you warm

When you dream
Drifting down a stream
Of your subconsciousness
We are oblivious in our houses

Woo! Yeah! Aaaah!
Woo! No! WoooAAAHH
Dirt Nap Come Back
Dirt Nap Come Back

Roll around
In plants and over ground
The nettles sting
You won't feel anything

When you wake
And your body aches
You won't remember why
You ended up here last night

Woo! Yeah! Aaaah!
Woo! No! WoooAAAHH
Dirt Nap Come Back
Dirt Nap Come Back

Ford's Theater Disaster

I want you to settle down
I want you to take your time
I want you to settle down
I want you to share my wine

What if this is the end?

Why don't you close your eyes?
Why don't you take a little time?
Why don't you close your eyes?
Why don't you give me your life?

What if this is the end?

You can sleep, take a dirt nap, baby
You can sleep, awake serene
You can sleep, take a dirt nap, baby
You can sleep, perchance to dream

What if this is the end?

Holst

I kept my bag packed ready
hid close to my door
kept a sweet girl in the dark
and myself up off the floor
but I left first light this morning
gave a love no warning
locked the door while she slept still
empty roads all calling

and I guess there will be tears come night
left a sorry page of answers
but I promise I'll sleep sound tonight
take a dirt nap with my chances

Never could ourun a past
I guess I got outsmarted
but I took them from my lady,
I been walking since we parted
and maybe if I'm lucky
her face they'll never see
I'll hold her name from off my lips
they won't get that from me

and I guess there will be tears come night
left a sorry page of answers
but I promise I'll sleep sound tonight
take a dirt nap with my chances

When footsteps raise the dry dust
close enough to feel it
my knees hit dirt the last time
in some godforsaken ditch
I'll close my eyes in grace
see your pure pretty face
and dream my little girl again
in a nameless resting place

and I guess there will be tears come night
left a sorry page of answers
but I promise I'll sleep sound tonight
take a dirt nap with my chances

and I guess there will be tears come night
left a sorry page of answers
but I promise I'll sleep sound tonight
take a dirt nap with my chances

I never meant to harm her
did my best all told
and pray as I let go to sleep
face pressed in the road

Verse1:
was it worth it?
Did you enjoy your time here?
could you still see us
when your time to leave drew near?

PreChorus:
and i wanna know
did it hurt?
or was your pain already gone?
would it have mattered?
if someone bothered?
or would same card be drawn?

Verse2:
i didn't know you
we only talked once or twice
did i miss words
to have an impact on your life?

PreChorus

Chorus:
Sleep easy now
no going back
there's nothing left for you to find
while we reflect
on your dirt nap
may we understand our time... here on earth

Dirt Nap – Pigfarmer Jr

Open your eyes and see what I have done
I know that you’d be proud of me
You always told me I could never make it alone
But I don’t need you anymore

I washed the dishes but still you would complain
I was never good enough for you
Look around. I’ve got to clean up now
I don’t need you anymore
No, I don’t need you anymore

You’re taking a dirt nap, honey
You’ll never ever hurt me again
Now that you’re laid out on the floor
You’re taking a dirt nap, honey
And I won’t have to feel this pain
Cuz I don’t need you anymore
No, I don’t need you anymore

No-one notices. There’s no-one left who cares
No-one to come and check on you
This is your last chance to send your last goodbye
I don’t need you anymore
No, I don’t need you anymore

You’re taking a dirt nap, honey
You’ll never ever hurt me again
As I drag you out the door
You’re taking a dirt nap, honey
And I won’t have to feel this pain
Cuz I don’t need you anymore
No, I don’t need you anymore

I kiss you goodbye through the tears and pain
As I dig this grave out in the rain
It’s not easy for me to say goodbye
But I don’t need you anymore
No, I don’t need you anymore

You’re taking a dirt nap, honey
You’ll never ever hurt me again
No, you can’t hurt me anymore
You’re taking a dirt nap, honey
And I won’t have to feel this pain
Cuz I don’t need you anymore
No, I don’t need you anymore

Dirt Nap by Wages

VERSE 1
Am F C
laying in your bed... looking like ya
Am
didn't do a thing...
you had it on the side
a wasted plate of life

a steady student of
the worst kind
sketching out an evil plan
to take the man, and make him...
make him fall...

CHORUS
Am Asus7? highF-highFsus
like laying in a dirt nap
Am Asus7? highF-highFsus
make a friend then sell him out
Asus Csus F7
sell him out... sell him out...
E Am
sell him out... sell him out...

VERSE 2
you dug that hole all night
to send a sound into the world
a singular vision that you sold
as a con man's pearl

you never pulled a trigger
or even made him bleed
but you drove him to the streets
and he might as well be...
as well be dead

like laying in a dirt nap
make a friend then sell him out
sell him out... sell him out...
sell him out... sell him out...
sell him out... sell him out...
when you're done... you can leave him ... out to dry

== hooligan rant / chorus ==
Gave me a little love tap, I think I
liked that Now get ready for your
dirt nap
------------

Why so angry
You don't act sane
You're taking swings
and you don't even play the game.

Your blood is roaring.
and passion inflamed.
You're throwing punches
since the field is just too tame.

== chorus x 2 ==

Do you always stick to the sidelines?
there's a game afoot, lets play!
90 minutes and 11 different positions,
If you only had your way .

You see the goal yet?
Play or get off the field.
Its your turn to score,
If you can shoot for real

== chorus x4 ==
