    Story Behind the Song
    There used to be this urn that sat on top of our TV. I always wondered who was inside. I asked the Rancher about it one day & he got all philosophical for a minute...then he popped open a beer & we wrote this snappy number.

    Lyrics
    I was on the interstate overpass
    Cop came by & splashed some dirt upon my ass
    I looked up in the sky
    Said, "God, man, what am I?"
    To just sit around...(unintelligible phrase)
    & this urn came rumbling down the hill...

    It came without a bill
    It came from that place I don't know inside
    One that produces urns like clockwork
    Like crackers on the trees

    Maybe I've got urns in my knees
    Hey! Got the urn disease
    Burn me up, baby, burn my pleas
    Oh! Won't you remember me?

    As intangible, intangible!
    Like an urn, like an urn, like a chargin' bull
    Don't keep 'round any longer than I gotta be
    Scatter me!

    In my urn, in my urn, in my urn
    Take me up in a crop duster
    Just let my ass go into the wind

    I fall down to the earth
    & maybe land on your dinner
    Hey! It's alright
    'Cause we are all dust in the night

    Black dust, black dust comforts
    Takes me to the place that, in reality
    Have a Michelob, have two or three
    'Cause it's before noon, can't you see?

    Scatter me, scatter me!
    Take me where I don't wanna be
    Don't keep me 'round longer than I gotta be
    I am infinity! Oh yeah!
