Lyrics

"Deader Than This"
© 2005 Capers Simmons (ASCAP)

CHORUS
You don't get no deader than this
You only got one shot, don't miss
Ice the flow, rock the boat and then roll it in play
Put your life on the dice, then blow it away
While you're waiting on your sunny day
It's ignorant bliss, 'cause you don't get deader than this.

VERSE I
Gather round, little children, hear this story of mine
About a girl I knew well back in once upon a time.
She had a fairy-tale beginning but I cannot pretend
There was a happy ever after when her fairy-tale ends.
I won't be too specific but the coroner said
She can't have an open casket 'cause they can't find the head.
I never really thought there was a life after death
Now I know

~ CHORUS ~

VERSE II
Listen, little children, and you shall hear
About a boy I knew from school back in my earliest years
He could make a minute mile but he couldn't outrun
That hollow-point bullet from the end of a gun
I won't be too specific but the police said
He can't have an open casket cause he don't have a face
I really don't believe he's in a better place,
Now I know

~ CHORUS (2x)~
