Come With Me
Mouse Lyrics

We were shootin' at a mound of dirt.
We were wasting our free time doing meaningless and unproductive things.

Well nothing was broken, nothing was hurt.
Despite the unproductiveness, nothing went wrong or got damaged.

But I probably really should have been at work.
I acknowledge that I should have been working instead of wasting my free time.

But if my free time's gone, would you promise me this?
If I'm going to waste my free time, I want assurance that it would be worth it.

That you will please bury me with it?
I want assurance that whatever I wasted my free time on will be buried with me when I die.

Please bury me with it!
I want to make sure that the time I squandered does not go to waste.

Well sure as planets come, I know that they end.
Just as with planets, all good things come to an end.

And if I'm here when that happens, will you promise me this my friend?
If I'm still alive by the time all desirable things come to an end, I want assurance that my wasted time would be worth it.

Well the suit got tight and it split at the seams.
My outfit became too tight and started to tear.

But I kept it out of habit and I kept it really clean.
Despite its state, I held onto it because of my habit of not wanting to let go and trying to keep it in good condition.

But if it's getting' faded, if it's runnin' outta thread,
If my outfit is starting to look worn out or falling apart,

Could you just do this for me my friend?
I want to ask a favor of whoever is listening.

And please just please bury me with it?
I want to make sure that even my worn-out outfit would not go to waste.

Well we moved to the left and moved to the right.
We partied and had fun, dancing and moving around.

And sure as hell we stayed out almost every single night.
We went out almost every night without a care in the world.

But if the party's over, if the fun has to end,
If the time for partying and having fun is over,

could you do this for me my friend?
I want to ask a favor of whoever is listening.

Would you just please bury me with it?
I want to make sure that even my fun times would not go to waste.

Good news for people who love bad news.
There is great news for those who prefer negative things.

We've lost the plot and we just can't choose.
We are directionless and confused, unable to make decisions.

We are hummingbirds who are just not willing to move.
We are like hummingbirds, unwilling to budge when we want something.

And there's good news for people who love bad news.
There is still good news for those who prefer negative things.

We are hummingbirds who've lost the plot and we will not move.
We are still like hummingbirds, choosing to stay in our comfort zone in spite of our confusion.

We have good news for anyone who loves bad news.
There is still good news for those who prefer negative things.

We were aiming for the moon. We were shooting at the stars.
We were ambitiously going after big things.

But the kids were just shooting at the busses and the cars.
Meanwhile, other people around us were destructively misusing their own ambitions.

So don't drink the water, don't you breathe the air.
The environment around us is toxic.

If it's gotten to that point then I have to declare:
This situation has escalated to the point where I need to make a radical statement.

That you please bury me with it!
I want assurance that the environment's toxicity will not cause me to die in vain.

Well fads they come and fads they go.
There are trends that grow and disappear over time.

And God I love that rock and roll!
But amid all that, I still have a strong passion for rock and roll.

Well the point was fast but it was too blunt to miss.
The point was straightforward and easy to understand.

Life handed us a paycheck, we said, 'We worked harder than this!'
We were given an underwhelming reward for our efforts and we protested that we deserved more.

Please bury me with it!
I just want to make sure that everything I did and worked hard for will not go to waste.
