Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I dig my own graves lately
I don't need any help
Just let me sit here quiet
In the earth by myself
[Refrain]
I don't wanna die but I wanna be buried
Leave me at the gates of the cemetery
[Verse 2]
I've been a zombie lately
I got nothin' to say
Always too much talking
Not enough eating brains
[Refrain]
I don't wanna die but I wanna be buried
Leave me at the gates of the cemetery
[PreChorus]
I'll wait here till I'm ready
[Chorus]
All my life, I've been waitin' for you
Not waitin' to find out
Nothing's new
It's the same old song, just a different tune
All my life, I've been waitin' for you
Not waitin' to find out
Nothing's new
It's the same old song, just a different tune
[Verse 3]
Right on, Frankenstein!
You've risen the dead
Lazarus pushed the stone off
Winced and went back to bed
[Refrain]
I don't wanna die but I wanna be buried
Leave me at the gates of the cemetery
[Verse 4]
You see the beast inside me
He pushes and shoves
Sensitive thugs need hugs, so
Why do I get no love?
[Refrain]
I don't wanna die but I wanna be buried
Leave me at the gates of the cemetery
[PreChorus]
I'll wait here till I'm ready
[Chorus]
All my life, I've been waitin' for you
Not waitin' to find out
Nothing's new
It's the same old song, just a different tune
All my life, I've been waitin' for you
Not waitin' to find out
Nothing's new
It's the same old song, just a different tune
[Outro]
Right on, Frankenstein!
You don't believe in ghosts
Lightning strikes the body
And that is life to most
