The Life And Times Of The Already Dead

So I've been dead for a while, and now it's all I know
I hit my head off a tile a long time ago
Did not go out in style, but that's the way it goes
So then I did the mile row down the deadened flow

We got a saying after death that everyone sings
"The Afterlife is truly where life does begin"
Through the black hills is where you’ll find your angel wings
It’s not a dead end job being dead you dine with kings

No quite literally, I sit next to Henry VIII
Whenever we get our 20-minute daily lunch break
He’s always talking about having a change of faith
A committed man of six apparently it ain't that great

And it can get monotonous
Being at the bottom of this bottomless pit
Forgive me for my sins but the populous stinks
You’d think a bunch of corpses would get spotlessness quick

We are the dead, and
We work hard trying to win ourselves some bread

I been real good in purgatory
Never got in trouble once
Until today, I was working hard taking inventory
But then I saw this girl and she had a pulse
What could I even say

She looked at me with her big blue eyes
And asked me where the hell she was
I said, "What you don’t know?
This is your demise, where the hell are you?
I’m sorry but you’re in hell, What?
Are you seriously surprised?"

And then she looked down and cried
When she did that I died a second time
She left an imprint on my rotten mind
She says, "This must be a dream
I’ll wake up and be okay, I must be asleep"

I took her with me to see my good pal, the scientist
He’s a bit crazy but he’s an expert on ghoul sciences
His name is Albert, and on the spectrum he is violet
He examines her for a while, until finally

"Ah, she’s not actually dead you see
She is caught up in a state of what seems to be the inbetween
She has faded through the barrier into our domain
A ghost among ghosts until alive again"

I fell in love with a girl who
Does not exist she just fell through
I’ll wait for you my love
Until we can become one
