You were right I'm hangin' 'round because
Light and sound won't separate us from them
You were right I'm underground because
Sleight of hand can't separate your body
From the dirt you're standing on today
You're the good things
Yeah that's you
Yeah that's you, yeah
You're the icing on the cake
On the table at my wake
You're the flowers in my house
When my allergies come out
You're the good things
Yeah that's you
Yeah that's you, yeah
You're the extra ton of cash
In my sinking life raft
You're the loud sound
Of fun when I'm tryin to sleep
You're the good things
Yeah that's you
Yeah that's you, yeah
You're the good things
Yeah that's you
Yeah that's you, yeah
You're the icing on the cake
On the table at my wake
You're the flowers in my house
When my allergies come out
You're the good things
You were right I'm hangin' 'round because
Light and sound won't separate us from them
You were right I'm underground because
Sleight of hand can't separate your body
From the dirt you're standing on today
And help's not short
When you're diggin' your grave
And help's not short
When you're diggin' your grave
And help's not short, short
I'll help you dig it
And help's not short
When you're diggin' your grave
So you're diggin' your grave
Now you're speakin' my language
