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
