[Intro: Spencer Charnas, Ricky Armellino]
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, Both]
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!"
[Bridge: Funeral father]
"We pray to thee our God, it's all my fault
For the blessings you've provided
Don't do it
I have to"
[Chorus: Spencer Charnas, Ricky Armellino, Both]
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
Remember...
Sometimes
Sometimes, "Dead is better!"
Yeah
Sometimes
Sometimes, "Dead is better!"
[Verse 2: Spencer Charnas, Ricky Armellino, Both]
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
Create!
Cremate!
All hail The Sematary!
[Chorus: Spencer Charnas, Ricky Armellino]
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
Remember...
Sometimes, "Dead is better!"
[Bridge: Gage]
I played with mommy, now I want to play with you
[Breakdown: Spencer Charnas, Ricky Armellino, Both]
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]
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
[Outro: Spencer Charnas, Ricky Armellino]
Remember...
Sometimes
Sometimes, "Dead is better!"
