Funeral Derangements (Live in Riverside / 2023)

How the hell do you explain death to such a little kid?
Well, maybe you don't have to
Slave to the plot!
Or bring 'em back forever!
Sometimes, sometimes!
"Dead is better"
Yeah!
Sometimes, sometimes!

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!"

"We pray to thee our God" ("It's all my fault")
"For the blessings You've provided"
"Louis, don't do it"
("From ashes to ashes, from dust to dust")
"I have to"

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 (Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah)
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 (Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah)

Remember!
Sometimes, sometimes!
"Dead is better"
Let me fucking hear you!
Yeah!
Sometimes, sometimes dead is better!

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!

Cre-ate!
Cre-mate!
All hail The Sematary!
Shovels in the sky!

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 (Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah)

Remember!
Sometimes!
"Dead is better"

(Ah-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha)
Are you ready Riverside?!
(I played with Mommy, now I want to play with you)
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!)
Oh!
The flesh is living but the souls have spoiled!
The wrath of God lays beneath this soil!
Let's go!

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"

Let's go!
Ayup!
