The laments of little men, little hearts Ashes to ashes, lurk beneath Fear of breathing supersedes The joy of longevity The madhouse is filled with them With these little men With endless dreaming With fumes of kerosene And unpleasant breathing mouths And uncouth, torn linen clothes In dreams of dying with hopeless love With promises of dreary kisses The laments of little men, little hearts Dust to dust, float above

Ashes to Ashes, Dust to Dust
The laments of little men, little hearts Ashes to ashes, lurk beneath Fear of breathing supersedes The joy of longevity The madhouse is filled with them With these little men With endless dreaming With fumes of kerosene And unpleasant breathing mouths And uncouth, torn linen clothes In dreams of dying with hopeless love With promises of dreary kisses The laments of little men, little hearts Dust to dust, float above
