One mile wide deeper than the Nile Walking on a sponge limbs stacked in a pile Picking up the bride Wondering how she died One by one sifting through the crowd Recognizing faces that used to be around Pounded by the sun We gotta get it done What we used Timber Is what we used Timber left for Used is what we used Timber left for What we used What we used Timber left for dead (x4) Carrying out the dead to the hilltop Celebrate a friend who got caught in the crop Gonna make him look sharp again Gonna build him back up Fresh from the graveyard all decked out Your lying days are over now you're walking all about Switch your swagger back on as we go marching into town What we used Timber Is what we used Timber left for Used is what we used Timber left for What we used What we used Timber left for dead (x4) Timber Left For Dead Is What We Used To Make The Sounds "Timber left for dead is what we used to make the sounds" Carrying out the dead "to the hilltop" Celebrate a friend "who got caught in the crop" Fresh from the graveyard "all decked out" Your lying days are over "now you're walking all about"
