Elvis Costello - Shallow Grave Lyrics

Send "Shallow Grave" ringtones to your cell

When I fall in endless sleep 
I hope that I'll be buried deep 
Let me be the one that fortune favours 
Even good children got shallow graves 
Throw another clown to the lions 
Throw another Joan on the blaze 
Cast me away on the cruel calm ocean 
and leave me for days and days and days and days and days 
I won't lie in this poor shallow grave 
I won't lie, I won't lie in this poor shallow grave 
Dig me down deep where the dead men sleep 
I won't lie in this poor shallow grave 

Bless the poor 'cos like the rich 
They all end up in a ditch 
In this world of fools and knaves 
Even good children got shallow graves 
The tinker, the tailor, the fabulous five 
Nobody gets out of this alive 

Dig me down deep where the dead men sleep 
I won't lie in this poor shallow grave 
Dig me down deep where the dead men sleep 
I won't lie in this poor shallow grave 
Dig me down, dig me down, dig me down deep 
I won't lie in this poor shallow grave
