I hope that I'll be buried deep

Cast me away on the cruel calm ocean
Throw another clown to the lions<br>
and leave me for days and days and days and days and days
Throw another Joan on the blaze<br>
I won't lie in this poor shallow grave
Cast me away on the cruel calm ocean<br>
I won't lie, I won't lie in this poor shallow grave
