lyrics

I don’t want to gaze upon
A body when the soul is gone
A frame without a picture in it
My blurry eyes can see yet

A blackened wick without a flame
Wax hardened to the holder
There’s no light behind the eyes
Cold skin getting colder

When you lay him down to rest
Don’t you want the very best?

A money grab, a parlor trick
No I don’t wanna play
But if you want to die dignified
You’re gonna have to pay

Of course I’d love to see again
Your shoulders shaking when you laugh
Hold tight to your weathered hands
Sing your favorite songs again

No I don’t want to gaze upon
A body when the soul is gone
Fill your pockets as they cry
And cry and cry
Play the part and bleed them dry

Dirty money changing hands
Preying on the living dead

A money grab, a parlor trick
No I don’t wanna play
But if you want to die dignified
You’re gonna have to pay

Twist my mind
With your parlor trick
No I don’t wanna play
But if you want to die dignified
You’re gonna have to pay
