Lyrics
Twelve Word Song
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
One mile wide deeper than the Nile
Walking on a sponge limbs stacked in a pile
Picking up the bride
Wondering how she died
One by one sifting through the crowd
Recognizing faces that used to be around
Pounded by the sun
We gotta get it done
What we used
Timber
Is what we used
Timber left for
Used is what we used
Timber left for
What we used
What we used
Timber left for dead (x4)
Carrying out the dead to the hilltop
Celebrate a friend who got caught in the crop
Gonna make him look sharp again
Gonna build him back up
Fresh from the graveyard all decked out
Your lying days are over now you're walking all about
Switch your swagger back on as we go marching into town
What we used
Timber
Is what we used
Timber left for
Used is what we used
Timber left for
What we used
What we used
Timber left for dead (x4)

"Timber left for dead is what we used to make the sounds"
Carrying out the dead "to the hilltop"
Celebrate a friend "who got caught in the crop"
Fresh from the graveyard "all decked out"
Your lying days are over "now you're walking all about"
