Fossil Song

Like the fossil is the stone's memory of the bones of the animal There's a mark upon my heart A stubborn work of art of unexplained remains And I doubt that they are bones Animal, bird, or botanical Still a fossil they became and so they will remain 'Til my body lies deep in the ground Too far down for you to find Like the fossil is the stone's memory of the bones of the animal There's a mark upon my heart A stubborn work of art of unexplained remains Like the fossil is the stone's memory of the bones of the animal There's a mark upon my heart A stubborn work of art of unexplained remains Still a fossil it became Soiled inside with soil outside Is how I do intend to end my days Like the fossil is the stone's memory of the bones of the animal There's a mark upon my heart A stubborn work of art of unexplained remains And I doubt that they are bones Animal, bird, or botanical Still a fossil they became and so they will remain 'Til my body lies deep in the ground Too far down for you to find Like the fossil is the stone's memory of the bones of the animal There's a mark upon my heart A stubborn work of art of unexplained remains Like the fossil is the stone's memory of the bones of the animal There's a mark upon my heart A stubborn work of art of unexplained remains Still a fossil it became Soiled inside with soil outside Is how I do intend to end my days Like the fossil is the stone's memory of the bones of the animal There's a mark upon my heart A stubborn work of art of unexplained remains Like the fossil is the stone's memory of the bones of the animal There's a mark upon my heart A stubborn work of art of unexplained remains Of unexplained remains Still a fossil it became Soiled inside with soil outside Is how I do intend to end my days
