There's a funeral procession on the highway
traffic screeches to a hault
theres people searching for a better way
to live there lives, woah.
Johnny lived a good life youl hear them say
as tears of sadness soak the ground
the reaper crept in, took his breath away
in the middle of the night, oh.
We celebrate the lives of the dead
its like a mans best party only happens when he dies
we gather round to pay our respects while there souls are still searching for the light
searching for the light.
So please dont come to me on my dying day
just let me go in peace
with all the things that i forgot to say
racing through my mind, oh.
And dont you bury me six feet under ground
just burn my body in a box
and let my ashes blow with the wind
out into the night sky.
We celebrate the lives of the dead
its like a mans best party only happens when he dies
we gather round to pay our respects while there souls are still searching for the light
searching for the light.
Searching for the light oh oh
Searching for the light.
City and Colour is one man band, this man goes by the name Dallas Green - Hence the name City and Colour. Green was born on the 29 September 1980 in Ontario, Canada. He started work on material for his first album Sometimes at the age of 14 and contuinued to write and record songs to this day. Dallas has been a member of many bands in his lifetime but he is by far at his best on his own with an acoustic guitar and a harmonica. Dallas Green literally has the voice of an angel. The thing I love most about Greens songs is that he manages to get across many different emotions he will either have a sad sounding melody with happy lyrics or vice versa. In short Body In A Box is an amazing song and everyone should listen to it.
