Dancing Dead

Dead men,
They celebrate
As the final chapter
Fades away
Cause they can't hide
We can see their flesh is rotten
The band plays a hopeful tune
The champagne is poured
As they socialize
The look in their eyes
Hide in the light
Everything is paid for tonight
While at the party of the
Dead dancin in their graves
The drinks here are free
So relax
Enjoy the sight of all the
Dead dancin in their graves
And while the world that they built
Told 'em to change
Told 'em to listen
They just kept it the same
And now that midnight has come
I'm in a room watching the
Dead dancin in their graves
Bones covered up by suits
As the visible scars,
They multiply
Kiss it good-bye
I'm too stubborn and I'll destroy
Tick, tock
The time bomb has been
Recognized and pressurized
Nowhere to hide
Swallowing light
Everything is paid for tonight
While at the party of the
Dead dancin in their graves
The drinks here are free
So relax
Enjoy the sight of all the
Dead dancin in their graves
And while the world that they built
Told 'em to change
Told 'em to listen
They just kept it the same
And now that midnight has come
I'm in a room watching the
Dead dancin in their graves
Feel a coming strength
And now it's too late to change
Why'd you want to go?
You drown me? with all that you are
Oh, how the mighty fall
Everything is paid for tonight
While at the party of the
Dead dancin in their graves
The drinks here are free
So relax
Enjoy the sight of all the
Dead dancin in their graves
And while the world that they built
Told 'em to change
Told 'em to listen
They just kept it the same
And now that midnight has come
I'll get a room watchin the
Dead dancin in their graves
Feel, feel a coming strength
And now it's too late to change
