As our rotting bodies    Pay back the earth its love   In a vile fleshy matter   We'll crumble into dust   I'll be picked up by the wind   And blown into strangers eyes   Defuse into their bodies   And their tears when they cry   'Til I have 5000 people carry me   'Til I have 5000 people carry me      Oscar and Lucy    Will buy themselves a coffin   Oh a single box of wood   That, together, they will rot in   And their bodies will decay   And combine with one another   Oh a single act of love   Far greater than any other   And in death they'll leave just a part of them   Oh in death they'll leave one part of them      Oh when I'm minerals in the soil   I'll diffuse into a tree   It'll have 5000 brances   Which will have 5000 leaves   And I'll be in every one   Oh and when a leaf blows free   I will land upon the earth   And grow another tree   'Til I have 5000 trees made of me   'Til there are 5000 trees made of me      When Darkness surrounds me   Oh when darkness surrounds me   Oh when darkness is all I can see   When Darkness surrounds me   Oh when darkness surrounds me   Oh when darkness is all I can see   When Darkness surrounds me   Oh when darkness surrounds me   Oh when darkness is all I can see   When Darkness surrounds me   Oh when darkness surrounds me   Oh when darkness is all I can see      I will have 5000 bodies   I will have 5000 trees   Which will have 5000 branches   Which will have 5000 leaves    And I will have 5000 lovers   And I'll have 5000 bees   Made of me
