about

the grossest love song you'll hear today

lyrics

In this world there ain't that much to live for
In this old dead town there ain't that much to do
Been walking around
Down and uptown
Didn't see anyone alive til I found you
And you just stood there a-laughing
Flippin' switches and leaving them on
You got every light bulb a buzzing
Till all of the darkness was gone
Say yes to the hand that is offered
Say yes cause it's the only one around
If you wanna be part of this mess
You can be like all the rest...
Better off dead
Someday we'll be rotten gone and long forgotten
Our lungs will fill with blood our mouths with bile
But for now I'm just a-singin' yer a-sittin' wth your smile
At least we are in love and living for a while
And yes there are ghouls on every side
Their disease a sadness that knows no end
And if this love should ever be found dead
Could it rise and walk again?
I say yes to the love of the living and the dead
I say yes cause it's the only thing we have
And without it we're a mess and we're just like all the rest...
Better off dead
