When You Arrive
Breakfast was Mahler and coffee
Dinner's Lightnin' Hopkins and rye
Everything you say comes back to bite you
These days, only beauty makes you cry
The chapel is closed for the COVID
Black mold owns the city by the sea
Dew-beaded cobweb in the moonlight
Halo for a saint who's yet to be
And the dead shall sing
To the living and the semi-alive
Bells will ring when you arrive
You're limping like a three-legged canine
Backbone creaking like a cheap shoe
Dragging the accretions of a lifetime
But you oughta make another mile or two
And the dead shall sing
To the living and the semi-alive
Bells will ring when you arrive
The dead shall sing
To the living and the semi-alive
Bells will ring when you arrive
The dead shall sing
To the living and the semi-alive
Bells will ring when you arrive
I said the dead shall sing
To the living and the semi-alive
Bells will ring when you arrive
(One more time)
The dead shall sing
To the living and the semi-alive
Bells will ring when you arrive
When you arrive
Dinner's Lightnin' Hopkins and rye
Everything you say comes back to bite you
These days, only beauty makes you cry
The chapel is closed for the COVID
Black mold owns the city by the sea
Dew-beaded cobweb in the moonlight
Halo for a saint who's yet to be
And the dead shall sing
To the living and the semi-alive
Bells will ring when you arrive
You're limping like a three-legged canine
Backbone creaking like a cheap shoe
Dragging the accretions of a lifetime
But you oughta make another mile or two
And the dead shall sing
To the living and the semi-alive
Bells will ring when you arrive
The dead shall sing
To the living and the semi-alive
Bells will ring when you arrive
The dead shall sing
To the living and the semi-alive
Bells will ring when you arrive
I said the dead shall sing
To the living and the semi-alive
Bells will ring when you arrive
(One more time)
The dead shall sing
To the living and the semi-alive
Bells will ring when you arrive
When you arrive
