Ship My Body Home

You have to ship my body home, ship my body home

You have to ship my body home, ship my body home
All I ever wanted was to finish what I started
So ship my body
And I'm finally hoping that I'll be torn open
I left the city, the quiet city
The words we're shouting while I work it out

Driving through the mountains, cutting through the night time
You have to ship my body
All I ever wanted was, all I ever wanted was
So that every word I say is true
So that every word I say is true
But there's no way I could do it on my own
And I'm finally hoping that I'll be torn open
In case trouble takes me and I don't make it through

You have to ship my body home
But there's no way I could do it on my own
In case trouble takes me and I don't make it through
The words you're hearing while I make it clear
All I ever wanted once I finished what I started
All I ever wanted was to finish what I started
All I ever wanted was to finish what I started
Ship my body, ship my body
Get drunker than a poet who just got paid

So ship my body
In the city, I own this city
I killed its memory just to watch it die
All I ever wanted was to finish what I started
And stopping now and then to wonder why
