VERSE 1:
in 1984, i was born
in 1985, i was still alive
in 1986, my parents played a trick on me
another brother tryin’ to survive
(here comes another brother tryin’ to survive)
VERSE 2:
and 1987 was heaven
that’s when the letters started speaking to me
i spent all day just staring at pictures
that i couldn’t hear, i only could see
VERSE 3:
and then in 1990, i got a bicycle
they finally gave me something to do
i spent all day just spinning in circles
’til my brother got a bicycle too
REFRAIN 1:
and as we rode down the street, we’d find neighbors to meet
they’d usually give us something to eat
we’d come home late at night, tiny fists like to fight
by the next morning, we’d be alright
REFRAIN 2:
then the winter brought snow, to the backyard we’d go
’til we were buried from our head to our toes
and the summer brings sand between ocean and land
so when it’s over, dig my grave in the sand
(yea you’d better bury me in the sand…)
VERSE 4:
well Y2K was anticlimactic (yea OK…)
it really wasn’t end of the line
the big ball still dropped and the computers all stopped…
(*music stops*)
we all were singing “auld lang syne”
yea, you humans handled new years’ just fine
REFRAIN 3:
and so we swam after dark, we weren’t afraid of the shark
we jumped in just for a lark
but he never came back, the shark decided to attack
and my brother ended up as a snack…
REFRAIN 4:
so when the summer brings sand between ocean and land
i’m gonna have to make a change in my plans
he was my only friend, i want to see him again
so you’d better bury me in the sand…(bury me in the sand)
(don’t want to fly in the air…don’t think his body’s up there…no)
you’d better bury me in the sand…
(bury me in the sand)
