I like that it really swings, and the lyrics are pretty fun – not too serious. It’s a fictitious story about a couple people cruising to a graveyard to bring a bunch of dead bodies back to life and realizing they’re already dead, too. I guess it came from my love of horror movies.

Wake the Dead Lyrics
[Intro]
Ah!
[Verse 1]
Yeah, this is not natural (Yeah, this is not natural)
A bunch of holes where the dead used to be on the ground
Forget supernatural (Forget supernatural)
'Cause all those resting in peace are out and walking the streets
Yeah, with no heartbeat
[Chorus]
Across the sky, they can hear you on the other side
A scream that's loud enough to wake the dead
And all alone, you bought tickets for the nightmare
As you wake the dead, wake the dead!
[Interlude]
Ah!
[Verse 2]
Oh, this is not possible (Yeah, this is not possible)
An empty hole in your chest where your heart used to beat
Does this mean what I think it means? (Does it mean what I think it means?)
How could both you and me be about as dead as we could be
Yeah, with no heartbeat?
[Chorus]
Across the sky, they can hear you on the other side
A scream that's loud enough to wake the dead (Wake the dead!)
And all alone, you bought tickets for the nightmare
As you wake the dead, wake the dead!
[Bridge]
Take a walk with me (Walk with the dead)
'Cause you knew that we'd have to die sometime (Yeah)
Well, darling, tonight could be (Darling, tonight could be)
Let your voice shred miles (Of diamond skies)
Just to walk as they wake in the darkness (Yeah)
Well, darling, tonight could be a beautiful night to die
A beautiful night to die, yeah
[Breakdown]
Wake the dead!
Fuck it, you're dead!
Wake the dead!
Fuck it, you're dead!
Wake the dead!
Wake the dead!
[Chorus]
Across the sky, they can ( ha,ha )hear you
A scream that's loud enough to wake the dead
And all alone, you bought tickets for the nightmare
As you wake the dead! (Come on!) Wake the dead!
Across the sky, they can hear you on the other side
A scream that's loud enough to wake the dead (Wake the dead)
And all alone, you bought tickets for the nightmare
As you wake the dead, wake the dead!
[Outro]
Wake the dead!
Wake the dead!
Wake the dead!
Wake the dead!
