The Dead Only Quickly (the Magnetic Fields) Lyrics - Divine Comedy

Priests and fools say 

We are but animate clay 

Rude vessels 

Housing immortal souls 

But the dead only quickly decay 

They don't go about being born and reborn 

And rising and falling like soufflé 

The dead only quickly decay 

It would be swell 

To see some folk burn in hell 

But when they go 

It's just pleasant to know 

That the dead only quickly decay
