Died too soon? Don't worry, we're having a party in the underworld and everyone's invited. Open bar.
Featuring a guest musician on the trumpet, this song is a dark and dancey stand out song.
lyrics
Dirt home, dirt home
When I’m six feet down in ground
Dirt home, dirt home
The cold earth's got a comforting embrace
Dirt home, dirt home
Dig an extra grave when you come around
Dirt home, dirt home
At least the worms will be eating good tonight
Bury me in an oaken barrel
That's been filled with whiskey
Just in case my skeleton
Gets bored, lonely, or thirsty.
And in due time all ghosts of the damned
Will stop by and I'll pour them a drink
Cause we know the world of the living is fucked, gotta get out as the ship starts to sink
We'll hire a ghostly band
To play songs from when we were living
Dance all night along with the damned
Shoot the shit with the gods more forgiving
We'll all waste away
While the fools think we're up in the sky
Trade up your soul
On the devils bar tab the kegs don't go dry
Dirt home, dirt home
When I’m six feet down in ground
Dirt home, dirt home
The cold earth's got a comforting embrace
Dirt home, dirt home
Dig an extra grave when you come around
Dirt home, dirt home
At least the worms will be eating good tonight
And if we are in this together
Well drink hell dry, from now ‘til forever
There’s no need to be afraid of the dark
While our bodies rot
Beneath the trees at our burial plots
The open bar will keep on pourin’
Dirt home, dirt home
When I’m six feet down in ground
Dirt home, dirt home
The cold earth's got a comforting embrace
Dirt home, dirt home
Dig an extra grave when you come around
Dirt home, dirt home
At least the worms will be eating good tonight
Dirt home, dirt home
When I’m six feet down in ground
Dirt home, dirt home
The cold earth's got a comforting embrace
Dirt home, dirt home
Dig an extra grave when you come around
Dirt home, dirt home
At least the worms will be eating good tonight
