Two Boxes

Carrying my coffin around the world with me, c'est la vie, such is my life my life would fit in these two boxes Two, each of 96x28, 22.9 kilos in one, 21.3 in the other Together; dimensions of a dead man's coffin my coffin; I am carrying around the world with me c'est la vie, such is my life. Living and Travelling around the globe in my boxes, boxes to fit cremated bones and ashes of mine tight In flight my lonely heart waiting for my life to be boxed life half spent in skies, In this hurry if so I die, so may be such that I can be buried in the sky Fly; I carry my coffin by my side.
