Dirt in the Ground Tom Waits

What does it matter, a dream of love or a dream of lies?
We're all gonna be the same place when we die
Your spirit don't leave knowing your face or your name
And the wind through your bones is all that remains

And we're all gonna be, yeah
I said we're all gonna be, yeah yeah
I said we're all gonna be, yeah yeah
I said we're all gonna be just dirt in the ground

The quill from a buzzard, the blood writes the word
I wanna know am I the sky or a bird?
'Cause hell's boiling over and heaven is full
We're chained to the world and we all gotta pull

And we're all gonna be, yeah yeah
I said we're all gonna be, yeah yeah
I said we're all gonna be, yeah yeah
I said we're all gonna be just dirt in the ground

Now the killer was smiling with nerves made of stone
He climbed the stairs and the gallows groaned
And the people's hearts were pounding
They were throbbing, they were red
He swung out over the crowd, I heard the hangman said
