Pennies from Heaven

Lay me down in open skies

Put the pennies on my eyes

Wrapped in my suit and tie of gray

Say a couple words of grace

Toss the earth upon my face

And let's call it another day 

Endless time is all I've got

As I decompose and rot

It's a horrid situation 

As I leave you all behind

The one thing that comes to mind

Should have asked them for cremation
