Lyrics
Long Live The Dead Guy
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Vladimir Lenin had a stoic jaw line
But he got very bored of that and this
He got bored of the old folks and their troubles
Then he got bored stiff of rigormortis
Vlad had a bad cold and he sneezed
His union preserved him but his mother knew
No matter how hard you kick the bucket son,
It will survive you
...and the people roared
"Long live the dead guy!"
He's had a great life and I want my slice
...and the people roared
"Long live the dead guy!"
He's had a great life and I want my slice
If the guards aren't watching I'll get a piece to call mine
Cause he looks so nice in double-breasted formaldehyde
Like Dionysus or Jesus Christ
Very good looking and great with rice
We rushed passed the guards as we were on the make
It was Vlad under glass-- there was nothing to take
We went home disappointed and baked a cake
In the likeness of Vlad and we ate and we ate
...and the people roared
"Long live the dead guy!"
He's had a great life
and I want my slice
...and the people roared
"Long live the dead guy!"
He's had a great life and I want my slice
Vlad had a gift for luck of action
He had violence in frowns and a nice green suit
Saw-dust for a heart and a formaldehyde brain
But the envy of everyone just the same
He put it to the czar and his family
With grace of genius and executioner's style
His friend and his comrades they all knew
They needed a great one and he would do
...and the people roared
"Long live the dead guy!"
He's had a great life
and I want my slice
...and the people roared
"Long live the dead guy!"
He's had a great life and I want my slice
