Won’t Come Back Alive

Lyrics

As the night surrounds me I feel his coffin in the wind I hear my parents yelling at me Don't go there again There's been three old ladies butchered By his spirit that won't die He's got Uncle Fred's resemblance But he's got the devil's eyes He's a wounded family heirloom Something snapped inside his mind They say don't go out to see him Or you won't come back alive No, you won't come back alive No, you won't come back alive But I ignore their wishes 'Cause he was kind to me long ago I have these memories of Christmas Sleigh rides in the snow I see him crouching in the corner Wave, "Hi Uncle Fred; it's Tommy, see!" As a tear fell on his knife blade He killed himself instead of me He's a wounded family heirloom Something snapped inside his mind They say don't go out to see him Or you won't come back alive No, you won't come back alive No, you won't come back alive (Laughter)
