Gravestone Songtext
von The K’s

I try to be cool, and I try to be brave
And I try not to send myself to the grave
Before I′ve seen it through
Wake up and decide, keep my eyes on the prize
And I won't even feel that my back′s on your knife
Until I've seen it through

I'm spending all my time, oh
Pretending that I′m, oh
Pulling out my heart
But I can spend ages
Putting nonsense on pages
And pass it off as art

I hope I work it out
And I hope it ain′t for nothing
And I hope that I earn my place in a coffin
And my gravestone, gravestone
One day has your name on, name on


I hope I work it out
And I hope it ain't for nothing
And I′m hoping I earn my place in a coffin
And my gravestone, gravestone
One day has your name on, name on

I try not to reach all the heights
Or to breach the terms and conditions
To the life that we seek
Life a bitch, life's a beach
And I′m drowning in the sea

I'm trying to stay cool and fight
In the oncoming whitey
I don′t smoke anymore, but I'm pretending that I do
So that you think I'm cool

I′m spending all my time, oh
Pretending that I′m, oh
Pulling out my heart
But I can spend ages
Putting nonsense on pages
And pass it off as art


I hope I work it out
And I hope it ain't for nothing
And I′m hoping I earn my place in a coffin
And my gravestone, gravestone
One day has your name on, name on

I hope I work it out
And I hope it ain't for nothing
And I′m hoping I earn my place in a coffin
And my gravestone, gravestone
One day has your name on, name on

I don't mind whatever my fate is
As long as I can reincarnate
And I′d live a thousand lives
And I'd die a thousand times
Just to get one more chance
At another by your side

Oh, I don't mind whatever my fate is
As long as I can reincarnate
And I′d live a thousand lives
And die a thousand times
Just to get one more chance
At another by your side

Oh, I don′t mind whatever my fate is
As long as I can reincarnate
And I'd live a thousand lives
And die a thousand times
Just to get one more chance
To get one more chance, whoa-oh

I hope I work it out
And I hope it ain′t for nothing
And I hope that I earn my place in a coffin
And my gravestone, gravestone
One day has your name on, name on

I hope I work it out
And I hope it ain't for nothing
And I′m hoping I earn my place in a coffin
And my gravestone, gravestone
One day has your name on, name on
