We Worship The Dead
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.
We worship the dead
Who've already crossed over
Bach and Beethoven
And all of that jazz
Judy, Billie and Bess
And we can't forget Elvis
Weren't doing as well as
They did when they died
Please don't make me leave the planet
'Cause I already come to love you all
And everything that's in it
As we worship the dead
Who've already crossed over
Let's love what is living
'Cause that's all we got
