Organs

[Chorus: Aesop Rock & Kimya Dawson]

It's important to give away your pieces

In the detail surrounding your death

There will always be a need for the pieces you are made of

You may one day need a few pieces yourself

[Post-Chorus: Kimya Dawson]

Jen stood at the finish line

And waited for Dylan to cross

Then she rested her head on the young boy's chest

That held the heart of the little girl she'd lost

[Verse: Aesop Rock]

Outside of the influential arms of your idolatries

The object will be turning goodbyes into good biology

There will be a DOA who has some parts that seem okay

Coinciding with someone you know that needs a piece replaced

And we will stand around the corpse, fishing in a well of ribs

Treasure hunting just before they show you where the devil is

Nobody is judging you to vilify the guilty

I will cut and dry, be leaving with your kidney

[Chorus: Aesop Rock & Kimya Dawson]

It's important to give away your pieces

In the detail surrounding your death

There will always be a need for the pieces you are made of

You may one day need a few pieces yourself

[Post-Chorus: Kimya Dawson]

Turtle gave its shell to the

Crab who gave its eyes to the

Bird who gave its wings to the bat

The bat gave its sonar to the

Dolphin who gave its blowhole to the

Whale who gave its tail to the cat

[Verse 2: Aesop Rock]

Outside any biases or post mortem reliances

A moment of silence that needs a poster-boy for science

There will be a system which allows them to unzip your skin

Cherry-picking innards from the synthesis they pickle in

And someone that you never meet will wake on a convenient day

Marvel in the lucky news, plug into your DNA

And know the love inside a dying human's final gesture

I will cut and dry, be leaving with your liver

[Chorus: Aesop Rock & Kimya Dawson]

It's important to give away your pieces

In the detail surrounding your death

There will always be a need for the pieces you are made of

You may one day need a few pieces yourself

It's important to give away your pieces

In the detail surrounding your death

There will always be a need for the pieces you are made of

You may one day need a few pieces yourself
