I want to be able to breathe underwater From the moment I saw you swimming there I couldn't help but stop and stare Into your eyes, how they hypnotize I take one step closer, you beckon me Your arms are open, begging me But don't drag me down 'cause I don't want to drown Just give me some time to learn To breathe in your world Don't drag me down Is this love or some crazy parlor trick Are you human or just a fish Filleted or steak, a tasty dish Or are you an angel sent from the deep blue sea You say I'm running out of time I need to choose to live or die But don't drag me down 'cause I don't want to drown Just give me some time to learn To breathe in your world But don't drag me down You promise me we'd stay as one forever Time was running short I fell into the sea And you dragged me down I drowned, died in your arms You filled me with life again Now I can breathe in your world You dragged me down (I left my life above the ground) You dragged me down (To your castle in the sand) You dragged me down

Fireflies flicker through the grass, been growing so long And the moon casts blue shadows on the screen porch, but nobody's home Scrawled in red pen and tucked into the doorframe a note Says Grandma and Grandpa Went down to the lake for adventure No need to wait Cause we've gone looking for fun and we won't be back A silvery canoe slips through water so silent and smooth Like a knife through warm butter, Grandpa's paddle steers them through Grandma leans back in his lap, and takes in the stars There goes Orion, protecting the night Seven Sisters, eternally bright And far off in the distance I see The one star that's been waiting for me tonight Arm in arm we wait for the sun to rise Grandpa looks back towards the shore, but it's already gone He says, "Darling I've paddled too far, there's nothing but fog" She takes him by the hand and looks into his eyes And says, "Trust in the moonlight, it's led us this far" Not knowing is only the start We're going where just you and me Release our memories and dreams to run free We're ready, we're leaving this world behind

Why am I still with you When you steal and cheat and lie? You make me feel I’m worthless Ev’ry time you happen by. I wish I could break up with you, But I can’t say goodbye. There’s just a single thought That helps me to get by . . . I’d be so happy if I Woke tomorrow morning and dis- Covered that your doctor made your Sleeping pills too strong. I love imagining you Jumping off a bridge and then dis- Covering that someone made your Bungee cord too long. Or just the thought that maybe One day, when you’re walking home, you Might get killed in traffic makes my Spirit start to fly! I hope you die. I hope you die. I’d be ecstatic if you Died from eating something that was Poisoned and delivered by a Crazy, jealous ex. Or, while we’re at it, since you’re Cheating on me anyway, I Wouldn’t even mind it if you Died while having sex! Or something simple like an Aneurysm burst or you got Crushed by something big and heavy Falling from the sky! I hope you die. I hope you die. I hope you die a slow and Agonizing death like all the Hours that I waited after You would say, “Hey, Honey? Let’s get Dressed up and go out!” And I’d say, “Sure, that sounds like fun!” And I’d put On a suit and tie and then I’d Sit there like an idiot and Wait while you decided on a Dress and then you had to change your Bra and then you tried to find a Belt and then you didn’t like your Shoes and then you have to do your Hair and do your face and do your Nails and pick a necklace and some Earrings and then spray on some per- Fume and then you have to find a Jacket and you have to find your Cell phone and you have to find your Car keys and you have to find your Purse and then you say you’re “good to Go,” so I get up and then you Look me up and down and you say, “Honey-bear, I love you but you Know I hate that tie . . .” I HOPE YOU DIE!!! How ‘bout an accident like Choking on the dinner that you’re Trying to inhale? Or getting trampled by a Crowd of crazy shoppers on the Day after Thanksgiving at some Early-risers’ sale? Or if your parachute gets Tangled in some power lines and Leaves you hanging, helpless, as you Slowly start to fry? I hope you die! I hope you die! I hope you die! I hope you die!! Maybe you’ll meet up with a Homicidal maniac who Kills you and then dumps you where your Body can’t be found! It doesn’t matter, just so Long as when it happens, I can Prove I’m somewhere else with lots of Witnesses around! I know you’d think with all the Shit that I’ve put up with I’d be Strong enough to leave you, but ‘til I can be that guy I hope you die! I hope you die!! I hope you . . . < Sound effect -- someone arriving > Oh. Hi, Sweetie! How was your day? Did you want something to eat? I could fix us something . . . < Sound effect -- door closing > (God, I hope you die . . .)

Last breath, last light, Last day, last night Last heartbeat, last smell I guess today isn't goin' so well And as I close my eyes on my last setting sun I used to be certain of two things, now I'm only certain of one Cause there won't be no taxes where I'm going to No one knockin on my door to tell me Jehovah's view No one spamming my inbox 'bout my erection But the best thing of all is that I'll see you again Don't get me wrong I didn't mean to die That's just the way things go in the sweet by and by Life was good, especially while you were there But, you know, I did okay, about as best as I could bear But when push comes to shove, if I'm gonna be dead I'm gonna always look on the bright side, just like Brian said And there won't be no taxes where I'm going to No one knockin on my door to tell me Jehovah's view No one spamming my inbox 'bout my erection But the best thing of all is that I'll see you again Oh holy crap! What if I made mistakes What if you and I don't end up at the same place What if St. Peter doesn't let me in Then I'll just have to hope that you shared my sin Cause either way There won't be no taxes where I'm going to No one knockin on my door to tell me Jehovah's view No one spamming my inbox 'bout my erection But the best thing of all is that I'll see you again

Hey baby go to sleep, Everything you know is a paper doll dream Don’t believe Darkness on the wind, Girl it doesn’t matter how good you’ve been How we sinned. Everything is waiting for you, Baby...Let the end begin... Hey Hey Romeo, There’s a song I hear, ringing in my soul, Whoa my Romeo, well they tried so hard to keep us apart, but this is bigger Than they ever could know! Baby don’t you breathe, every breath you take... it’s killing me, soft and sweet Feels like so long waiting for you, Baby...Come follow me... Hey Hey Romeo, There’s a song I hear, ringing in my soul, Oh my Romeo, well they tried so hard to keep us apart, but this is bigger Than they ever could know! Hey Hey Romeo, There’s a song I hear, ringing in my soul, My Sweet Romeo, though they tried so hard to keep us apart, I found your dagger, Baby I’m coming home!

At my birthday I was working on my seventh G&T Drinking them as fast as they would pour I noticed someone in the corner looking right at me Who didn't cast a shadow on the floor Though he didn't wear a watch, I knew exactly what he meant When he tapped his first two fingers to his wrist I knew before too long I would be leaving the event So I lifted up the tumbler in my fist... (shouting) Here's to a life surrounded by my friends Let it end the way that all great things must end Here's to a body that gave all that it could give Here's to a life well-lived. He shook my hand, grabbed my wrist and pulled me through the wall Felt dizzy as we rose up towards the stars And then I saw an image shimmer like a crystal ball My body was still seated at the bar I felt my heartbeat quicken even though I had no pulse And watched my living self begin to sway There wasn't a sensation as I started to convulse And flung my glass up high as though to say: (chorus) I watched the paramedics put my body in a bag And marveled that I'd felt no fear How sudden I was overtaken by the need to brag But when I looked up, my guide had disappeared. (chorus)

I love the dead - strictly vocationally I love the dead - I bury them professionally So far none of them came back to complain I'm just a happy undertaker - I aim to please I'm making sure you'll get the perfect grave to rest in peace Sometimes I feel a little bit misunderstood Because death is my business - and business is good I love the dead - strictly vocationally I love the dead - I bury them professionally This funeral home is the place I call home And with the graveyard next door I never feel alone I love the dead - strictly vocationally I love the dead - I bury them professionally So far none of them came back to complain I don't mean to offend - I just really like my job I take care of the bodies before they start to rot I can give you silence - I can give you thunder Either way you'll end up six feet under I love the dead - strictly vocationally I love the dead - I bury them professionally I love the dead - strictly vocationally I love the dead - I bury them professionally This is the grave digger's delight

I'm stealing glances at the underside of seams and though it's threadbare there's something natural to me and pulling further only straightens up the view of all the disparate dimensions of a thing I can't subdue This separation is something endless to explore my solid stature still lying crumpled on the floor and I could stay here simply filter through the walls but I am funneled by an element that softly pulls and calls The Lady on the Gray is feeding me on something that nobody else can taste I'm powerless to stay as she's slipping through the floorboards and my judgment starts to sway I'm moving slowly and every fracture feels a mile observing angles I'm in a hurry to compile for while I flicker gently warming as I will I'm peeking over pavement with my senses standing still The Lady on the Gray is feeding me on something that nobody else can taste I'm powerless to stay as she's slipping through the floorboards and my judgment starts to sway The culmination of something denser than I know and an equation that finally balances to null and I'm dissolving over everything I see but all the consequence is meaningless to everyone but me The Lady on the Gray is feeding me on something that nobody else can taste I'm powerless to stay as I'm slipping through the floorboards and I finally see her face

Babe, you know I’m leaving I’m going home I can hear my name called in the light I don’t want you grieving There’s no need for tears Everything will turn out right Celebrate the moments of our lives Celebrate the memories that you keep The answers to your questions Surely lie above Now it’s time for me to sleep Wake me when it’s over Have a party while I’m growin’ colder And maybe cry into your beer Because you think that I’m not there But... I’ve got a first-class ticket into Paradise And if you love me you will see me, just close your eyes And we will spend eternity In love so endlessly And when the living ends you’ll see It’s never over [instrumental] I’ve got a first-class ticket to the afterlife And we’ll forever be together when it comes your time And we will spend eternity Bathed in love so endlessly ‘Cause when your life is done you’ll see It’s never over

I saw you on the bus That I take because I don't own a car (And because I kind of like watching people) Has anyone ever had the nerve to tell you Kind of beautiful I know just what you're gonna say I know sometimes I seem unstable (You've got some good instincts) Here's a proposition: I've just gotta get you on my table (But not quite like you think, because) Whenever you're gone I'll feel alive again I'll feel alive again Just like I've never been Whenever you're gone I'll feel alive again Just like I always do When things come to an end Did I say that out loud? That probably came out a little desperate (I don't mean to smother) You were so busy staring at me That I think you just missed your exit (But I'll find you another) You seem strong and proud (and I like that) But this doesn't have to be so strange (And awkwardly quiet) I think I make you wanna scream And that's kinda flattering (Go ahead and do it, pretty soon you'll be silent) Once that we're done I'll feel alive again I'll feel alive again I'll come around this bend Once that we're done I'll feel alive again I'm gonna need your help Can't do it by myself So here we are. The big reveal. I've left clues lying about. My love is brief. But it's so real. So have you figured me out? Now that you're dead I feel alive again I feel alive again Just like I've never been Now that you're dead I feel alive again Just like I always do When all pretty things end Now that you're dead I feel alive again I feel alive again Just like I've never been Now that you're dead I feel alive again All the brand new sins Make me a brand new man ...Until I need to feel alive again

[Verse 1] Haven't you ever wished that you never had to go to work again? Haven't you ever wanted a fancy car? Or maybe five or ten? And wouldn't you like to use a gold-plated toothbrush? Or write with a silver pen? Well these are a few, Of the things I can do, Now that I have gotten the news: [Chorus] That you're dead.... (You're dead) And now your attorney, Gave me all your money. You're dead... (You're dead) What's left of your treasure, Is left to my pleasure, So now I can do all those things I've been dying to do. You can't take it with you, So I think I'll take it from you. [Verse 2] Maybe I'll go and fill up a swimming pool with lots of frozen peas. Maybe I'll buy a football arena, and stuff it full of nacho cheese. And just for the grins, I'll take the state of Rhode Island, and decorate all it's trees. And then I'll go buy, A full-life-time supply, Of disposable shoes. [Chorus] 'Cause you're dead... (You're dead) And now your attorney, Gave me all your money. You're dead... (You're dead) What's left of your treasure, Is left to my pleasure, So now I can do all those things I've been dying to do. You can't take it with you, So I think I'll take it from you. [Verse 3] I'll have a fleet of personal jets that I will teach myself to fly. Every morning, I'll start the day by parachuting from the sky. I'll climb up mount Everest, and then go cave-diving, And maybe one day I'll die? But who would receive, All the things that I'd leave? It wouldn't really matter to me: [Final Chorus] When I'm dead... (I'm dead) I think my attorney, Would take all my money, When I'm dead... (I'm dead) I'd spent all that treasure, On nothing but pleasure, I wanted to do all the things I was dying to do. I can't take it with me, So someone would take it from me.

Your Golden hair down to your waist I glance at you and you look away You're the only girl who's ever caught my eye In the corner of the room I sit I was always scared out of my wits I can never find the words to say what's on my mind But I finally found a way to shake this off A way to show you just what you have lost I'm gonna burn myself into your mind Because im burning for you They said that you're out of my league That you are just too good for me They said that I could never make you mine But I can't wait to see you face as I watch you watch me immolate The love I have for you cant be denied. Just a little bit of has to soak the cloth an itty bitty spark will set things off im gonna burn myself into your mind You know Im' burning for you Well it's dangerous combination When loneliness and desperation and a little obsession crash And it's with grim determination That I hold this burning match everyone will know my name and how your brought my life to ashes Cause I'm burning for you

I came home to Caroline every single day I'd bring her favorite brand of wine and flowers, too, of course But then, one day, that gal o' mine, she up and walked away Straight to her attorney, to file for divorce Well, I grew up a poor kid, and I can tell you now, I don't let people take my things, no way, no how She said that we were over, and I took that in stride But imagine my relief when I heard that she died She left the lawyer's office, tried to cross the street Didnt see the karma truck, now she's dead meat Oh, Caroline is dead, Caroline is dead I mean, yeah, it's sad she's laid out on the slab But on the bright side she bought it while we were still wed There won't be a divorce, wasitng cash on the courts And, inevitably, giving half to that whore I'm not gonna lie It brings a tear to my eye That I get to keep all my stuff I get to keep my money, my savings sure are safe I get to keep my marble bust of Matt from "Melrose Place" I get to keep the penthouse suite, I get to keep the Benz And now, since there's no pickin' sides, I'm keepin' all my friends I get to keep the labrador, I get to keep her cat But give me just a couple days and I'll send that one back Oh, Caroline is dead, Caroline is dead I'm sure it would suck getting hit by a truck With the whole tractor/trailer impaled thru your head But it's perfectly timed, and I'm happy to find That I'm single again and it won't cost a dime I'm not gonna lie It brings a tear to my eye That I get to keep all my stuff Maybe this isn't the way That a husband should handle a eulogy But right now, I really don't care Beause she tried to make a fool of me Maybe next time she'll be a little bit considerate And think about the gravity of her unchained rapacity And then she might become contrite and try to set her errors right But wait, no, I'm wrong 'cause she's dead You know, I really loved her, that's why we tied the knot But I guess she was never satisfied with what she got It seems she planned to pilfer my possessions and abscond But all she took was a truck to the face and beyond Yes, the Good Lord did smite her, and smiled on me So I don't have to fight her to keep the t.v. Oh, Caroline is dead, Caroline is dead It might seem unfair that I'm walkin' on air But she was gonna take my stuff, and now she's too dead! Now I'm free to procure all that I can afford And there's no greedy bitch in my way anymore And I'm not gonna lie It brings a tear to my eye That I get to keep all my stuff

I was feeling kind of forlorn Your fate is sealed the moment you're born But life is something that you just can't quit So I resolved to make the most of it Won't waste the effort to sweat the small stuff I'll spend more time with those that I love Since I'll just end up in a box in a hole To die happy is my lifetime goal A single life is all one gets So I'll live mine so I have no regrets Don't let precious time go to waste I've got no time for anger, malice, or hate I'll visit people I'm gonna miss Punch every ticket on my bucket list And in the end I'll have the final laugh With "He died happy" as my epitaph When you gotta go you got to go And you won't knw the time or the place But when my turn comes around I'll be going with a smile on my face I'll visit people I'm gonna miss Punch every ticket on my bucket list And in the end I'll have the final laugh With "He died happy" as my epitaph Cone on, dance with me now This here is what you call a shuffle A shuffle off this mortal coil I'll visit people I'm gonna miss Punch every ticket on my bucket list And in the end I'll have the final laugh With "He died happy" as my epitaph

There once was a time when I had prospects I was always anxious for what was in store. But here in this hospital bed, I'm smiling 'cause I'll soon be dead and I won't be worrying about it anymore. It's not like I wanted this to happen. It's not like I was hoping for it all to end. I've been cut down in my prime, and I'm glad I'm nearly out of time, because dying means I won't have to pretend. And I won't be worrying about the rent, or my job, or the laundry and I won't be bothered by the anthills on the front lawn And I won't be worried 'bout another single thing from this point on. Because this time tomorrow, I'll be gone. I don't know why I feel the need to say this. I gues it could be the drugs they put in my veins But don't let that take away from what it is I'm trying to say. My mind is clear: No fear, no threat, no pain And I won't be worrying about the rent, or my job, or the laundry and I won't be bothered by the anthills on the front lawn. And I won't be worried 'bout another single thing from this point on. Because this time tomorrow, I'll be gone. And I won't be worried about war or disease or recession and I won't be bothered by the way the world has gone wrong. And I won't be worried 'bout another single thing from this point on. Because this time tomorrow, I'll be gone.

I won you at the fair when I knocked down some milk crates And for our first week or two things were going great I thought our time together was fleeting and that was fine by me But then you went and got so needy and I started to see That maybe you'd be in that bowl for the rest of eternity But then you took your last fishy breath of water And I sighed a sigh of relief You had a good long life, which would have been fine But I only wanted you for a week You're my dead goldfish And I'm glad you finally croaked You're my dead goldfish And I'm glad to see you float...at the top of your bowl Normally a flushing, Would be soul crushing But instead of tearing I was cheering "Hip Hip Hooray! As I sent you to your watery grave I didn't even name you, because I thought it wouldn't last But you just kept swimming as the days and months flew past I couldn't bring myself to murder, so I never overfed I even cleaned your water, though I had started to dread That the day would never come that I'd find you dead But then you took your last fishy breath of water And ate your last fish food flake You're dead and gone, and I can't deny that My heart didn't even break You're my dead goldfish And I'm glad you finally croaked You're my dead goldfish And I'm glad to see you float...at the top of your bowl Normally a flushing, Would be soul crushing But instead of tearing I was cheering "Hip Hip Hooray! As I sent you to your watery grave

Put your fear, put your fear aside Heaven and Hell are about to arrive Baby get ready for the time of your life 'Cause we're gunna party with the ghosts tonight Do you believe In the afterlife <party noise> Do you believe Do you believe Do you believe In the afterlife Sha la la, sha la la Sha la la, sha la la Do you believe Do you believe Do you believe In the afterlife

there comes a time in everybody's life when you're past your prime and you hear the chimes you go to sleep at night and see the light bright white and guides you to the other side it seems to me that there's those that can't handle death they see it as an end but like gandalf said the journey doesn't end here. death is just another path the grey curtain of this world rolls back n turns to silver glass and some might say that i'm just being optimisitc what proof is there of an afterlife they insist and say that we just decay and that's a lonely thought and it goes against everything I was once taught that we're simply visitors to this planet if you have a chance at love then grab it whatever you want you can have it make the memories with the life that you inhabit we all live our lives one step at a time just remember when you die and cross the finishing line that you left a memory on all those left behind you will see them once again cos in the end you'll find that we all live our lives one step at a time just remember when you die and cross the finishing line that you left a memory on all those left behind you will see them once again cos in the end you'll find that death is the next part of life come again? yea you heard what i said! you my friend! are in way over your head you defend, that it's all a sad event well i don't care this is a happy song about death and no i'm not leading no suicide pact i'm just here trying to establish the fact that maybe you should take and follow my advice and see death as a celebration of one's life like the irish do, we're gonna drink that brew it's true i took this from p.s. i love you it's all good, that was pretty great movie about how you get by and see life's beauty and i know the afterlife is still a mystery people fight over religion all through history it doesn't matter to me, what you believe cos we're all gonna float away on that cosmic sea we all live our lives one step at a time just remember when you die and cross the finishing line that you left a memory on all those left behind you will see them once again cos in the end you'll find that we all live our lives one step at a time just remember when you die and cross the finishing line that you left a memory on all those left behind you will see them once again cos in the end you'll find that death is the next part of life atheists saying that there's nothing afterwards this our life for better or for worst atheists saying that there's nothing afterwards this our life for better or for worst i refuse to believe that i will just cease to be but most religions seem to be a gossip magazine i refuse to believe that i will just cease to be but most religions seem to be a gossip magazine I - Refuse - to - believe that i - will just - cease - to - be! i refuse to believe that i will just cease to be but most religions seem to be a gossip magazine and they don't work for me but i have hope for an afterlife i might be a hypocrit but whatever helps you sleep at night we all live our lives one step at a time just remember when you die and cross the finishing line that you left a memory on all those left behind you will see them once again cos in the end you'll find that we all live our lives one step at a time just remember when you die and cross the finishing line that you left a memory on all those left behind you will see them once again cos in the end you'll find that death is the next part of life

Jo Jo was a man Who had a best laid plan Such amazing things he could become Alas, there was a lady Power mad and so shady And she kept him down right under her thumb When she failed to duck A sanitation truck Ding dong! She was finally gone Without that witch Loretta Jo Jo knew he'd be better Off he went to turn his happy life on All over All over When it's over, you can finally just be All over All over When it's over, you can finally be free Found a gal named Sal To boost his own morale What she'd do for him, there was no end He headed for the top It seemed he just could not stop But not only Jo Jo needed a friend Stumbled on her cries He saw it in her eyes How he'd take but he hardly would give He saw what he'd become He kept her under his thumb He wondered, was he still deserving to live? All over All over When it's over, you can finally just be All over All over When it's over, you can finally be free To leave her like that Would just be one more selfish thing He had no right But if he stayed 'round To make it up, that just might bring Him to the light From that very day The two would find a way To be giving as good as they'd get Yeah, Sal and good ol' Jo Jo Found the way to their mojo Was to live a life they wouldn't regret Even at the end They still could both depend On each other to see it all through The worse as well as better They forgave even Loretta And when they were gone, the two of them knew All over All over When it's over, you can finally just be All over All over When it's over, you can finally be free All over All over When it's over, you can finally just be All over All over When it's over, you can finally be free

Last breaths Dying Reach out Find me Colors Moving Then you'll Find peace [chorus] You will never never die And if you do It only gets better In death you'll come alive You'll see when you're there It only gets better Lightning Strikes you Takes you Back to Up where You came from Always Bright sun No more Worry You are Happy No more Crying Only Laughing [CHORUS] Open your eyes Finally recognize Where you're standing 10,000 feet above me [CHORUS]

Life is such a difficult thing for me to do All these decisions to make about me and you Do we go out or do I invite you in? Would you like wine, or should I offer gin? But amidst all this uncertainty there is one constant fact Although it's not polite to say and lacks a certain tact This knowledge that I have tells me to do the best I can Because we're all going to die some day I don't know how or in what way But we are all going to die some day Maybe you'll be hit by a car tomorrow in Islington Maybe the wings will fall off my plane and then I'm done Will it be next week or will it be next year? We know it's going to happen so what's the point of fear? But amidst all this uncertainty there is one constant fact Although it's not polite to say and lacks a certain tact This knowledge that I have tells me to do the best I can Because we're all going to die some day I don't know how or in what way But we are all going to die some day Next week or tomorrow Next month or today Let's just enjoy the moment And savour every day Because we're all going to die some day I don't know how or in what way But we are all going to die We're all going to die We're all going to die some day

On Monday they gave me a white linen suit Did I know why? Did I know why? On Tuesday I met an angel --she was cute And she could fly She could fly On Wednesday we went dancing in the rain She said there’s something I may have to explain Notice that your feet aren’t touching the floor Did you like it when we drifted right through the front door? Hey, did I die? Please don’t cry Hey, did I die? Please don’t cry But you don’t have to worry about your telephone bills You don’t have to care if smoking kills You don’t have to worry about job interviews You don’t have to worry about the evening news So I died? Yes, you died You reside On the other side On the other side Instrumental Well, I don’t have to worry about sudden chest pain I don’t have an image to maintain I don’t care if my clothes are out or in I don’t have to worry if eating is a sin . . . And now there’s time to wait for the Cubbies to win Odds are thin But they will win Is that a grin? They’re gonna win Instrumental On Tuesdays I wear a white linen suit Now I know why Now I know why There’s my friend the angel—she sure is cute And we can fly On the other side And we can fly On the other side On the other side On the other side

The guy from the Wiggles don’t wiggle anymore. Try Death! DEATH! Take your last breath. Embrace Death. DEATH! Death. Imagine no more church or chores. Imagine an end to being poor. Imagine having no more debt. Who needs money when you are dead? Imagine no more stupid baths. No more homework. No more school. Imagine no more bedtimes because You are Always Asleep! “COOL!” It’s death. DEATH! Take your last breath. Embrace Death. DEATH! Death.. In my rat-a-tat rap of a deathly prose I suppose I compose that I decompose: Understand, take my hand, don’t fear the Reaper: Robe like a Jedi, hair like a Bieber. Immortality is off yo’ wishlist Unless you is motherf&%in jellyfishes. Though I admit ghosts and shit are the illest: “I see dead people, BRUCE WILLIS” What the heck’s that bangin’ ho? Quit knock knock knockin on heavens do'! The Lion King knows about the Circle of Life Like Nicole knows about OJ’s lucky knife. The presence of death makes us equal, meth head So get off my Temperpedic Craftamatic deathbed. One death is tragic, a bunch a statistic. The report of my death is exaggerated, bitches! Death! Death! Death! Death! Ok, now kids, I’d like to make a toast to Death Raise your glasses of Kool-Aid… Cheers!

She sits alone in her fathers shop With her father's words and needs She cannot have what he cannot rule So lonely she must be She watches through frosted glass From the window sill Sits and waits and holds her breath Carries out his will Daydreaming again She is scheming again She listens to the radio To reach outside these walls Hearing songs of love by girls Empassioned by their words She slowly molds a quiet plan To break out her cage She lies in wait when they're alone Waits to spring her trap She dares to dream again She is scheming again Accross the wooden boards In bare feet she creeps Careful as a mouse That they do not creak She sneaks into his room In the darkest black The moon streaks on his bony face No courage does she lack So she grabs the pillow And she smothers him the night And as he kicks and struggles It is a dreadful sight But she presses down with all her strength To remove his blight And when he's still and all is still She knows she's done right No more dreaming again No more dreaming again

Ohh When we were young (Maybe twelve or so) We met out by The lake We hit it off We ran around and played But our parents didn’t want us to Date But that was ok We still saw one another They couldn’t keep us Apart We got engaged Then we were married That’s how I threw my Life away But now you’re gone! Though it’s still kind of sad I’ve got my freedom Back I’ll go to the bar I’ll go out and buy a pool My new life is about to Start We’re here at the wake I have to look real sad So your parents don’t Suspect That I was the one Who put the bullet in your Dainty, wonderful Head -Spoken section- We are gathered here today To celebrate the life and mourn the loss Of Mrs. Jane P. Adams Who brought happiness wherever she went And is remembered by her parents, friends And loving husband of four years The crowd disappears And I am left alone Grinning like a Fool How could I know It wouldn’t be too hard To trade her dear life for Mine? I’m making a plan I’m getting on my way To live like I want To I’ll find me a girl We’ll get married And then I’ll end it After some time She’ll pass away And I will be free

I’m a little choked up and I’m not sure where to start But I need to say this from the bottom of my heart With a past as bad as we’ve had it came as a surprise Your thoughtfulness has tears of joy streaming from my eyes I guess that i just really want to say Thank you for dying Now I don’t have to kill you Thank you for dying Now I don’t have to kill you You might think I’d be bitter, after all that I had planned But I got my deposit back on that old cargo van Besides, the drive would have been horribly inconvenient Four whole states away to where the sentencing is lenient I needed this wood chipper anyway Thank you for dying Now I don’t have to kill you Thank you for dying Now I don’t have to kill you Thank you for dying

Isn’t It Nice By JoAnn Abbott I was frightened, every morning, of the bullies in class They would punch me, they would trip me, stab their pens in my ass Steal my money, my new jacket; leave it torn in the trash- Until the day I got some chocolates for my birthday Whitman’s sampler- lots of flavors; got a new pet fish too Read the box of algae killer and I knew what to do Careful cutting, careful mixing, placed where only I knew Then I gladly shared the box of candy the next morning Chorus And isn’t it nice to have a friend? To share in the good and the bad times- To stay with you till the bitter end? Just remember that it isn’t nice to steal Nibbled chocolates through the morning, shared with teachers I liked Only safe ones- I’m not stupid. Kept the ones which were spiked Then at recess they were waiting, I knew that they would strike As they knocked me down and ate my box of chocolates. I wonder if they wondered why I stayed down and wouldn’t cry As they smashed the empty box I tried not to smile! So I picked up all the pieces as they wandered away And my secret smile was growing through the rest of that day I was filled with satisfaction as their faces turned grey The flashing lights felt almost like a party And isn’t it nice to be a friend? To share in the good and the bad times- To stay with you till the bitter end Just remember that it isn’t nice to steal Just remember that it isn’t nice to steal

In life You hear a lot of complaining In this world people are kind of cruel Nothing is free; there's too much bad TV Everyone's critical In work, at home, in school I don't have a clean solution but this might clear your head: All of your woes - conflicts with all of your foes - That'll be over when you're dead Oh, when you're dead And when you're dead You won't have to pay the mortgage Dead, all your chores are done (your race is run) In life You never have the right umbrella In this world Nothing goes as planned You're out in the rain Words can not contain A world that's full of pain and hits you where you stand I don't have a clean solution But you can take this instead All that's wrong It'll all be gone This'll be over when you're dead (Oh, when you're dead) And when you're dead You won't have to do the laundry You won't need a date (you know you're late) In life Everything's a disappointment In this world Things just take too long From young and weak to old and meek Always peeking into Places you don't belong I guess I'll never understand it But it's the life I led Dazed and confused, asked and refused It'll be over when you're dead Yeah when you're pushing daisies Nothing can harm you when you're dead Oh, when you're dead!

Verse I Every man I find will have to fall stone dead tonight All the women shrink from me and shrilly scream in fright The children run in fear because they know that I will bite The weaker-hearted faint when I come slowly into sight Pre-chorus I I'll use their veins as bookmarks I'll squeeze their eyes for jam I'll cook their flesh so it looks dark I'll smoke their thighs to ham Chorus (Because he's a cannibal) I devour the humans I can catch (Because he's a cannibal) Into the oven I put another batch (He'll eat your daughter Annabelle) Your children I shall snatch (Because he's a cannibal) To your meat I've become attached Verse II I'll put your family in a pot and make quite a nice stew I'll grind your bones to grain, to alcohol I'll brew For the rest of time your friends will learn to rue The day that I came and thought that I'd come after you Pre-chorus II I'll knit your hair to sweaters Your toes are paperweights I'll add spice so you taste better My stomach is your fate Chorus (Because he's a cannibal) I devour the humans I can catch (Because he's a cannibal) Into the oven I put another batch (He'll eat your daughter Annabelle) Your children I shall snatch (Because he's a cannibal) To your meat I've become attached Bridge You gather in your churches You pray I don't come nearer I find you in my searches And approach you with a shearer Chorus (Because he's a cannibal) I devour the humans I can catch (Because he's a cannibal) Into the oven I put another batch (He'll eat your daughter Annabelle) Your children I shall snatch (Because he's a cannibal) To your meat I've become attached

Last night while i was sleepin' In my dreams, someone was creepin'. I asked from where they came They shook their head and said "What a shame. I'm your family from long ago. Way before you were born. Take my hand and follow me. Where we go just wait and see. Boy, this is where your family goes when they die. Son, don't cry when you have to leave your friends behind. You'll find that life is better here; Livin' without evil or fear. I asked them why they're showin me this place. They said "Son, I am sorry to say. Boy, you've already joined us, and from the life you were living this place is a plus, and now that your life is done you can come and join everyone. You may be sad that you are gone. You weren't even warned before dawn. Boy this is where you came when you died. You didn't cry when you had to leave your friends behind. You have found that life is better here. You are livin' without evil or fear. And now that you have joined us in this place I see a smile upon your face.

Death and sorrow to follow all night long But it sounds happy when a banjo's in the song Death and suffering, malfeasance in there too See it's happy when a banjo's in the tune I've been scared to die since July My old lady's car burst out in flames She died that day and left me all alone No casket just a box of ash In the night I went to her grave I decided to be brave I headed to the grave The moon was shining bright To visit my old lady in the night as I was crying footsteps I could hear I stopped, listened intently with fear A dark figure did approach me in the night The smell of death was on his breath Gave me such a fright and he sang Death and sorrow to follow all night long But it sounds happy when a banjo's in the song Death and suffering, malfeasance in there too See it's happy when a banjo's in the tune After his song was done I bid him night He wasn't through and hooked me with delight He swung his axe'jo right through my leg I was hopping as I begged I wasn't fast enough and he took another swing He lopped my other leg, I noticed something A fresh grave by my lady, dug beside of me Dug there by this creepy beast He rolled me into that ole hole My eyes as big as ox Then he tossed a familiar thing My old lady's ashes My old lady's box My beloved in her tomb And he sang Death and sorrow to follow all night long But it sounds happy when a banjo's in the song Death and suffering, malfeasance in there too See it's happy when a banjo's in the tune

Gonna throw my anchor down Gonna hold my head up high Gonna claim this brave new world In the name of you and I Gonna throw my anchor down Gonna hold my head up high Gonna claim this brave new world In the name of you and I I’m leaving behind everything I know to follow the calling deep within my soul Don’t know what awaits me on the distant shore But the sweet siren song, I can no more ignore Dreams I have aplenty, possessions I have few My compass it is broken, but my heart is true The waters they are fearsome and dangers do abound The passage way is scattered with ships that ran aground If I can make my way, if I can soldier on the life that I once knew, will be dead and gone and that golden prize will at last be won So I’m Gonna throw my anchor down Gonna hold my head up high Gonna claim this brave new world In the name of you and I Gonna throw my anchor down Gonna hold my head up high Gonna claim this brave new world In the name of you and I

Finally, I'm dead. I'm so glad I finally got here This place they call heaven I really had my doubts After, the other day, I dropped the F bomb again God smiles at me as the gate parts I know that I'm free, so where do I start? I'll wear wigs with Washington Sing songs with Sinatra Create my own world Become a Pokemon master. But if all else fails It won't matter 'cause time won't end I'll just sit back and be Jesus's best friend. Jesus's best friend. But I'd really like to shake Shakespeare's hand And speak a line or two Or have a word with Walt Disney, And ask why he hated…being accused. I'll wear wigs with Washington Sing songs with Sinatra Create my own world Become a Pokemon master. But if all else fails It won't matter 'cause time won't end I'll just sit back and be Jesus's best friend. Jesus's best friend But if all else fails It won't matter 'cause I love the view But I really want a Pikachu I'll just be Jesus's best friend.

he world that was was burned away By second cars and LCD displays We took our chance in a recycled can To tread the stars before any man We fled the night the signal died We are the very last We fled the night the signal died Unshackled by the past We broke the crib of Mother Earth And lost whatever it was worth But we can try and start it over On the world where we lay anchor We left the day the signal died We are the very last We left the day the signal died Unshackled by the past Without magistrates and voodoo We can finally be true To the ideals that others amended We're free now that the signal's died We are the very last We're free now that the signal's died Unshackled by the past

We had our share of good times We had a laugh or two But now it seems our time is done And here we have to pay our dues We never knew a life of straight and narrow We never said a word of true repent But loyalties were always held Stuck together till the end I know we’ll meet again I know we’ll meet again My friend And now we stand here side to side Just like we have so many times We spent our lives together, living well I cannot say I have regrets Despite the ropes around our necks If the good book is correct I’ll see you in Hell I told ‘em that I didn’t know the gun was loaded You told ‘em it was just an act of self defense But nothing we have said has helped To get them to believe that we are innocent I’d like to think that there is something after Even though I know for me it won’t be cool I figure at least I’ll be in good company And when I get there I’ll be looking for you I know we’ll meet again I know we’ll meet again My friend And now we stand here side to side Just like we have so many times We spent our lives together, living well I cannot say I have regrets Despite the ropes around our necks If the good book is correct I’ll see you in Hell

There will come a day When I will die When you will die When all we are has passed away Today is not Today is not Today is not that day There will be a time When all we are is not When everything we've got Will not be ours, and that's OK Today is not Today is not Today is not that day No one can know the hour The hour or the moment Dance like your heart's on fire Dance like it's your last chance And when we are no more We will join the dance The dance of all who were Everyone who was and will be gone Today is here Today is all Today is not Today is not Today is not that day
