The sword of Damocles is swinging

Death can get a person stressed

“We should have carpe’d way more diems
 
Now we’re never gonna see ‘em!"

Drink your fifty-dollar wine

Gm              F
Jesus, pass the Dramamine
Cm
Time to face the brutal truth:
       Dm
‘Cause we’re all on a hitlist
 
Might not live ‘till Christmas
 
Choke to death on Triscuits
 
Hey, that’s just statistics
    D#
So take a little break here
G#m
Kinda like a wake here
     D#m
The scenery is fake here

[ENSEMBLE]
A#m                                        Fm
Death is taboo, but it’s hardly something new
                 A#m
There’s nothing medical professionals can do
       F          Fm
'Cept maybe just bill you
 
[BETELGEUSE, spoken]
 
If you die while listening to this album
                               F  D#
It's still gonna keep playing
 
[ENSEMBLE]
            A#m
There’s no destiny or fate
       Fm
Just a terrifying wait
            A#m
Filled with people that you hate
             D#                       C
And on a certain date, the universe kills you!
 
[BETELGEUSE]

That’s the thing with life:
                      A#
No-one makes it out alive!

Toss that body in the pit

“Gosh, it’s awful, ain’t it tragic?”
                      F
“Blah, blah, Bible Jesus magic.”
Cm
When you’re dead, who gives a shit?
Gm
No pilates, no more yoga!
 
“Namaste”, you freakin’ posers
 
Cm
From the cradle to cremation
A#
Death just needs a little conversation!
