Dead Lyrics
[Intro]
(I can't think of nothing)
(I'd like to do a nursery rhyme)
[Verse 1]
You crazy babe Bathsheba, I want ya

I'm tired of living, Shebe, so gimme
[Chorus]
Dead!
Dead!
[Verse 2]
We're apin', rapin', tapin', catharsis

Dead!
Dead!
Dead!
[Bridge]

Uriah hit the crapper, the crapper
[Chorus]
Dead!
Dead!
[Outro]
Dead! Dead!
Dead!
