A Place in the Dirt Lyrics
Song Meaning
Verse 1
We are damned and we are dead
All God's children to be sent
To our perfect place in the sun
And in the dirt
Verse 2
There's a windshield in my heart
We are bugs so smeared and scarred
And could you stop the meat from thinking
Before I swallow all of it
Could you please?
Verse 3
Put me in the motorcade
Put me in the death parade
Dress me up and take me
Dress me up and make me your dying god
Verse 4
Angels with needles poke through our eyes
And let the ugly light of the world in
We were no longer blind
We were no longer blind
Verse 5
Put me in the motorcade
Put me in the death parade
Dress me up and take me
Dress me up and make me your dying God
Verse 6
Now we hold the "ugly head"
The Mary-whore is at the bed
They've cast the shadow of our perfect death
In the sun and in the dirt
