Danse Macabre Lyrics

Gregor's bound up in a rug

Besmirched by cyanide and blood

And Willy's etched upon a plaque

Some errant lead lodged his back

Martha's burned up in her frock

A pyric flash makes front page shock

And Harry's gone and bust a gut

Now six feet down and pushing up

And Issy's hit the highway for new love

With affectations quite the cut above

And Lindy's packed and from the coup she's flown

The final destination still unknown

And Sherry's just about to croak

Something log-jammed sideways in his throat

Ernie's propped up 'gainst the bed

Two barrels pitched up in his head

And Norma's naked 'neath the sheets

Gone gorged herself on long retreat

Angie's head is in the trough

The junker's out back written off

And Judy's shrivelled in the tub

As Mickey courses through her blood

And Brian's floating face down in the pond

The frogs calls echo out and over yond

And Jack has slumped down underneath the bar

Gone one too many, finally one too far

And Harold's swimming out to sea

Thought a saw a glass eye blink at me

Jim n' James are side by side

And Jimmy's somewhere 'neath the drive

And Nancy's cold upon the tiles

While Beau is off one million miles

Ian's dangling up on high

And John has bid a late goodbye

And Vic has gone and got the chop

With two lil' kids left mopping up

And Christa's off this evening on a ride

With bridle dangling off and to the side

And Dee is weaving hard and winding through

With base precautions nixed among the crew

And Stephen's got a bleeding heart

That fate signed and sealed from the start

Amy went hard unto dawn

Now crashed out flat and all forlorn

And Nelson's zonked out on the floor

With gumdrops trailing out the door

Davey's fading into black

With no intent of coming back

And Lenny's tumbled from the bed

Some nighttime cretin knocked his head

The King has abdicated from the throne

The dirty deets all far and widely known

And now the Queen has bid the hordes farewell

On exit hear the tolling of the bell

The dynasty droves are coming 'round

Marching lockstep on the spiral down

The dynasty droves are coming 'round

Marching lockstep all the long way down
