{Once more
One, two, three, four}
I like a tombstone cause it
Weathers well
And if it stands or if it crumbles only
Time will tell
And you can carve my name in marble
You must cut it deep
There'll be no dancing on the gravestone
You must let me sleep
And time is burning, burning, burning
Till it burns away
I don't need to see the gates of
Famous men
But I do try to see the kingdom
Every now and then
And if you ask me where it is, it's on a
Humble map
And I know to enter in the doorway
Show your handicap
And time is burning, burning, burning
Till it burns away
I like a tombstone cause it
Weathers well
And if it stands or if it crumbles only
Time will tell
And you can carve my name in marble
You must cut it deep
There'll be no dancing on the gravestone
You must let me sleep
And time is burning, burning, burning
Till it burns away
And time is burning, burning, burning
Till it burns away
Burns away
Burns away
