A Gorey Demise

(album: The Greatest Show Unearthed - 2007)

Alright, everybody sit down, quiet down, listen up.
I brought you all here to recite the annual obituaries.
Like every year we'll start with A and end with Z.
Alright, is the band ready?
Ready.
Alright, hit it Boyles.
One, and a two

A is for Amber who drowned in a pool
B is for Billy was eaten by ghouls
C is for Curt with disease in the brain
D is for Daniel derailed on a train
E is for Eric who's buried alive
F is for Frank who was stabbed through the eye
G is for Greg who died in the womb
H is for Heather who was sealed in a tomb

One by one we bite the dust
We kick the bucket and begin to rust
Give up the ghost when your number's up
We all fall down

Ashes to ashes, bones to paste
You whither away in your resting place
Eternity in a wooden case
We all fall down

I is for Issac who lost his front brakes
J is for Johnny, was bitten by snakes
K is for Kimmy was shot in the head
L is for Larry who bled and bled
M's for Marie who was burned to a crisp
N is for Nick who was pummeled by fists
O is for Olive who lived life too fast
P is for Pat who swallowed some glass

La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la

Alrighty lads, altogether now:

One by one we bite the dust
We kick the bucket and begin to rust
Give up the ghost when your number's up
We all fall down

Ashes to ashes, bones to paste
You whither away in your resting place
Eternity in a wooden case
We all fall down

Q is for Quentin who took the wrong trail
R is for Raina who rotted in jail
S is for Steve who was shot by a bow
T is for Tory who froze in the snow
U is for Urich who was trampled by hooves
V is for Vanessa who fell off a roof
W is for Will who was hit by a car
X is for Xavier who sunk in the tar
Y is Yessy who fell from a plane
Z is for Zack who simply went insane
