Funeral Derangements

Lyrics

[Intro: Spencer Charnas, Ricky Armellino, Spoken Word, Both] Slave to the plot Let 'em rot Or bring 'em back forever Sometimes Sometimes "Dead is better" Yeah! Sometimes Sometimes, dead is better! [Verse 1: Spencer Charnas, Ricky Armellino & Dan Sugarman, Dan Sugarman, All] They say, "behind those gates, eternal life awaits " But those beyond the grave, come back beyond depraved With Church bells ringing, I'll start digging Fast, they'll never know he's missing Now the cat's back in his cage "Oh, my God, Gage!" [Interlude: Spoken Word, Spencer Charnas] "We pray to thee our God..." ("It's all my fault.") "...For the blessings You've provided..." "Louis, don't do it." ("...From ashes to ashes, from dust to dust...") "I have to." [Chorus: Spencer Charnas, Joe Occhiuti, All] I'll see you on the other side But I'd kill to bring you back tonight Don't give up, don't let go I'll make this right (Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah) I'll dig through sorrow and disgust Ashes to ashes, dust to dust Don't give up, don't let go I'll make this right (Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah) [Post-Chorus: Spencer Charnas & Ricky Armellino, Ricky Armellino, Spoken Word] Remember: Sometimes Sometimes "Dead is better" Yeah Sometimes Sometimes, dead is better! [Verse 2: Spencer Charnas, Ricky Armellino & Dan Sugarman, Ricky Armellino] They say that time heals all But I won't heed the call Buried in misery Spare me the eulogy Still, I can't escape this struggle Driven when push comes to shovel Whether God's hand or my own Nothing here is set in stone [Post-Verse: All] Create! Cremate! All hail The Sematary! [Chorus: Spencer Charnas, Joe Occhiuti, All] I'll see you on the other side But I'd kill to bring you back tonight Don't give up, don't let go I'll make this right (Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah) I'll dig through sorrow and disgust Ashes to ashes, dust to dust Don't give up, don't let go I'll make this right (Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah) [Post-Chorus: Spencer Charnas, Ricky Armellino, Spoken Word] Remember: Sometimes "Dead is better" [Bridge: Spoken Word] Ah ha ha ha ha ha ha I played with Mommy, now I want to play with you [Breakdown: Spencer Charnas, Joe Occhiuti, All] It all began with a skid on the pavement It ends here with funeral derangements The flesh is living but the souls have spoiled The wrath of God lays beneath this soil The flesh is living but the souls have spoiled The wrath of God lays beneath this soil [Chorus: Spencer Charnas, Joe Occhiuti, All] I'll see you on the other side But I'd kill to bring you back tonight Don't give up, don't let go I'll make this right (Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah) I'll dig through sorrow and disgust Ashes to ashes, dust to dust Don't give up, don't let go I'll make this right (Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah) [Post-Chorus: Spencer Charnas, Ricky Armellino, Joe Occhiuti, Spoken Word] Remember: Sometimes Sometimes "Dead is better" Ayup!
