Funeral Derangments - Live in Riverside / 2023

Lyrics

[Skit: Spoken Word] "How the hell do you explain death to a little kid?" "Well, maybe we don't have to" [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 , Joe Occhiuti, 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, Ricky Armellino & Patrick Galante, 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 Sometimes "Dead is better" Let me fucking hear you Yeah Sometimes Sometimes, dead is better [Verse 2: Spencer Charnas, Joe Occhiuti, 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: Spencer Charnas, Ricky Armellino] Cre-ate! Cre-mate! All hail The Sematary Shovels in the sky [Chorus: Spencer Charnas & Ricky Armellino & Doc Coyle, Joe Occhiuti] 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 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: Oh Sometimes "Dead is better" [Bridge: Spoken Word, Spencer Charnas] Ah-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha Are you ready Riverside? I played with Mommy, now I want to play with you [Breakdown: Spencer Charnas, Ricky Armellino, Crowd] 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 Oh The flesh is living but the souls have spoiled The wrath of God lays beneath this soil Let's go [Chorus: Spencer Charnas & Ricky Armellino & Doc Coyle, Spencer Charnas, 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 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 [Post-Chorus: Ricky Armellino, Spencer Charnas, Spoken Word] Remember: Sometimes Sometimes "Dead is better" Let's go Ayup!
