Jenny Hval
Ashes to Ashes
[Verse 1]
She had this dream about a song
She was certain that it was about a burial
The ritual beautifully written
Even the groove was filled with sadness
Every beat went all the way down
Into the two holes in the ground

[Verse 2]
It had the most moving chord changes
She was certain the lyrics
Went about burying someone's ashes
And then having a cigarette

[Chorus 1]
Like it was telling her, "Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
From me to you," but I don't think it was

[Verse 3]
I had a dream about this song
That I had not written yet
Like I used to dream of fucking before I knew how
I was playing some kind of instrument
That was just a shape in the earth
Like I was playing by digging my own grave
[Chorus 2]
And I scooped out dirt with two fingers
Placed it in my mouth
Like ashes to ashes, dust to dust

[Verse 4]
Put two fingers in the earth
Into rotting plums
Into the honeypot
Into moist n*** magazines
Or on your device
Swipe with two fingers
Like you were kicking feet underwater, or under the earth
To get up to the surface

[Chorus 3]
Put two fingers in the earth
Into the honeypot
I am digging my own grave in the honeypot
Like ashes to ashes, dust to dust
