well, I know a thing about life ending,
Cause my time is coming soon
Your love is possible, but pending
and you haven't got a clue
Come on down, and hurry up
My coffin won't keep waiting
The devil wants my sinning soul
That's it, there's no debating (scream?)
[bridge]
(whispers) Gone are the gravestones...
Gone are the gravestones...
Don't. Leave.
[chorus]
Just say, what I wanna hear
Bury me in black
Run away my dear.
Mr. President's got the shotgun
Mother's got the wine
Don't look back
It's a false attack
I'm dead, I won't be fine
(I-M F-I-N-E, F-I-N-E) (screams-) FINE!
The world is tilting to the side,
Supposedly, I'm high
Dancing with you is like a drug
I can never say goodbye
The eyes of the dead are as cold as glass
Just like your goddamn heart.
This tomb of mine is crushing me,
Not fatal, but it's a start
[bridge]
(whispers) Gone are the gravestones...
Gone are the gravestones...
Don't. Leave.
[chorus]
Just say, what I wanna hear
Bury me in black
Run away my dear.
Mr. President's got the shotgun
Mother's got the wine
Don't look back
It's a false attack
I'm dead, I won't be fine
oh, woh woh woh
don't come back
don't leave me
oh, woh woh woh
your pretty face
is kill-ing me!
(softly) but tonight...
(screams?)I WILL RISE
ABOVE YOU (don't go)
FROM MY GRAVE
THERE'S NOTHING YOU CAN DO (don't go)
YOUR BLOODY TEARS
MASK MY FEARS
I'VE BEEN A BAD, BAD BOY (don't go)
BUUUUTTTTT [getting louder][drums?]
(softly) don't go...
(whispers) away..
[chorus]
Just say, what I wanna hear
Bury me in black
Run away my dear.
Mr. President's got the shotgun
Mother's got the wine
Don't look back
It's a false attack
I'm dead, I won't be fine
I won't be, I won't be, I won't be
FINE
