[Verse 1] You dug too deep by deep into the Semetary Mud on your hands and a hole in me Little paw prints in the backyard rain You said goodbye, but it ain't that plain The ground looks calm, the ground looks kind But it keeps old hunger buried inside When the collar vanishes under stone Something comes back with a different bone [Pre-Chorus] Don't call it rest Don't call it sleep That dirt keeps score That dirt runs deep You put love down It doesn't stay It hears your name And learns the way [Chorus] Don't bury your dog Don't bury your cat Don't bury anybody And hope they come back They won't come back clean They won't come back sweet They come back wrong On four cold feet (wrong, wrong) Don't bury your dog Don't bury your cat You open that gate And it stays like that [Verse 2] I saw the moonlight on the garden gate Saw my old friend come a little too late Eyes like lanterns in a butcher's shed Tail went stiff with a nod of dread The porch screen shook, the dishes slid Something in the dark knew what it hid Every step had a rusted sound Like a shovel dragged across the ground [Pre-Chorus] Don't call it home Don't call it fair There's a mean old hand In the cold night air You plant one seed You get two graves One for the gone One for what it made [Chorus] Don't bury your dog Don't bury your cat Don't bury anybody And hope they come back They won't come back clean They won't come back sweet They come back wrong On four cold feet (wrong, wrong) Don't bury your dog Don't bury your cat You open that gate And it stays like that [Bridge] Now the screen door screams And the floorboards moan I hear a little scratch Under every stone So leave that earth alone Let the dead stay dead Some roads don't lead back home They lead straight to your head [Final Chorus] Don't bury your dog Don't bury your cat Don't bury anybody And hope they come back They won't come back clean They won't come back sweet They come back wrong On four cold feet (wrong, wrong) Don't bury your dog Don't bury your cat Say it one more time And don't look back (don't look back)
