Listen Body

Listen to me my body I’m talking to you Don’t you let me down Or I’ll be leaving you. I’ll desert you, you know I’ll leave you alone I’ll take my spirit from you You can turn cold as stone. They’ll take you away And stuff you up good They’ll dig a big hole And a cross they will put. You’ll be food for the maggots And worms if you please You’ll rot and you’ll stink You’ll bloat and be free One useless caress Another life gone One spirit has left you It’s life to carry on So make up your mind Either you stay or you go But make no mistake If you stay YOU BE WHOLE.
