Mortuary

My liver chokes, my kidney's bloat
There goes another year
Heads in pain, down the drain
Face the end with fear
Heart's been broke, downward slope
Mortuary is near
Can't delay the fateful day
The mortuary is near
Yeah, the mortuary, the mortuary, the mortuary is near
Yeah, the mortuary, the mortuary, the mortuary is near
When I die I'll ask you why
And if your answers clear
Then I'll know that you didn't lie
The mortuary is near
One more drink then I'll sink
Face the end with fear
One more smoke, then I'll croak
The mortuary is near
Yeah, the mortuary, the mortuary, the mortuary is near
Yeah, debauchery, debauchery, debauchery is near
Yeah, the mortuary, the mortuary, the mortuary is near
Yeah, debauchery, debauchery, debauchery is near
