Lyrics
The Rigor Mortis Shake
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.
First your eyes stop blinking
the heart stops on the beat
no pulse no more breathing
it's going to knock you off your feet
Its still a mystery where it comes from
we're going to show you how it goes
it's starting in the jawbone
last stop is in the toes
you're doing the rigor mortis shake
after three to six hours
that's when the real fun begins
rigor mortis death stiffening
has taken over all your limbs
you're doing the rigor mortis shake
when your skin turns pale and your muscles relax
you let the jawbone drop and your lips turn black
dehydration, desiccation it's all the same
it's the end of the line but not at the end of the game
you're doing the rigor mortis shake.
