We'll remember you, Gord

If I die of vanity, promise me, promise me If they bury me some place I don't want to be You'll dig me up and transport me, unceremoniously Away from the swollen city breeze, garbage bag trees Whispers of disease and the acts of enormity And lower me

If I die of vanity, promise me, promise me

If they bury me some place I don't want to be

You'll dig me up and transport me, unceremoniously

Away from the swollen city breeze, garbage bag trees

Whispers of disease and the acts of enormity

And lower me slowly and sadly and properly

Get Ry Cooder to sing my eulogy

- At the 100th Meridian

We don't go to hell the memories of us do

and if you go to hell I'll still remember you

- Inevitability Of Death

I am the Stranger 

You can’t see me 

I am the Stranger 

Do you know what I mean 

I navigate the mud 

I walk above the path 

Jumping to the right 

And then I jump to the left 

On a Secret Path 

The one that nobody knows 

And I’m moving fast 

On the path nobody knows

– I Am The Stranger
