Funeral Derangements - Live in Lowell / 2022

[Intro: Spencer Charnas & Ricky Armellino]

How the hell do you explain death to such a little kid?

Well, maybe we don't have to

Slave to the plot, let them rot

Or bring them back forever

Sometimes

Sometimes dead is better

Yeah!

Sometimes

Sometimes dead is better

[Verse 1: Spencer Charnas, Ricky Armellino, Joe Occhiuti, All]

They say, "behind those gates, eternal life awaits"

But souls beyond the grave, come back beyond depraved

With Church bells ringing, I'll start digging

Fast, they'll never know he's missing

Now the cat's back in his cage

"Oh my God, Gage!"

[Interlude: Spencer Charnas]

"We pray to thee our God" ("It's all my fault")

"For the blessings you've provided"

"Louis, don't do it"

"I have to"

[Chorus: Spencer Charnas]

I'll see you on the other side

But I'd kill to bring you back tonight

Don't give up, don't let go

I'll make this right (Ah, ah, ah, ah)

I'll dig through sorrow and disgust

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust

Don't give up, don't let go

I'll make this right (Ah, ah, ah, ah)

[Post-Chorus: Spencer Charnas & Ricky Armellino]

Remember, sometimes

Sometimes dead is better

Yeah!

Sometimes

Sometimes, dead is better

[Verse 2: Spencer Charnas, Joe Occhiuti, & Ricky Armellino]

They say that time heals all

But I won't heed the call

Buried in misery

Spare me the eulogy

Still, I can't escape the struggle

Driven when push comes to shovel

Whether God's hand or my own

Nothing here is set in stone

[Post-Verse: Spencer Charnas & Ricky Armellino]

Cre-ate!

Cre-mate!

All hail the Semetery!

Massachusetts, let me hear it

[Chorus: Spencer Charnas & Joe Occhiuti]

I'll see you on the other side

But I'd kill to bring you back tonight

Don't give up, don't let go

I'll make this right (Ah, ah, ah, ah)

I'll dig through sorrow and disgust

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust

Don't give up, don't let go

I'll make this right (Ah, ah, ah, ah)

[Post-Chorus: Ricky Armellino]

Remember

Sometimes, dead is better

[Bridge]

Ah-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha

I played with Mommy, now I want to play with you

[Breakdown: Spencer Charnas, Ricky Armellino, Spencer Charnas & Ricky Armellino, & Crowd]

It all began with a skid on the pavement

It ends here with funeral derangements

The flesh is living but the souls have spoiled

The wrath of God lays beneath this soil

No!

The flesh is living but the souls have spoiled

The wrath of God lays beneath this soil

Shovels in the sky, motherfuckers

[Chorus: Spencer Charnas]

I'll see you on the other side

But I'd kill to bring you back tonight

Don't give up, don't let go

I'll make this right (Ah, ah, ah, ah)

I'll dig through sorrow and disgust

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust

Don't give up, don't let go

I'll make this right (Ah, ah, ah, ah)

[Post-Chorus: Ricky Armellino & Spencer Charnas]

Remember

Sometimes

Sometimes, dead is better

Massachusetts, get up!
