I wanted to write a song about reincarnation...
lyrics
LIFE AFTER DEATH (Walsh)
My my we're all gonna die
Drop your bags and say goodbye
Lights out nobody's home
Step away from the danger zone
Spread my ashes over the sea
Another fine day for you and me
Read the writing on the wall
Everybody gets a curtain call
CHORUS
Life after death
Stick around to the very last breath
Life after death
What the heck do you expect?
Pharaoh in his tomb
Ninety-nine servants dusting his broom
Hats off to the old viking
Send his ship into the sea
Build a mound a funeral pyre
Throw my body into the fire
Aztec pyramid
Sacrifice somebody's kid
CHORUS
Graveyard at the edge of town
Everybody knows what's going down
CHORUS
Bright light crack in the wall
Watch the baby learn how to crawl
CHORUS
CHORUS
My my we're all gonna die
Drop your bags and say goodbye
Lights out nobody's home
Step away from the danger zone
Spread my ashes over the sea
Another fine day for you and me
Read the writing on the wall
Everybody gets a curtain call
CHORUS
Life after death
Stick around to the very last breath
Life after death
What the heck do you expect?
Pharaoh in his tomb
Ninety-nine servants dusting his broom
Hats off to the old viking
Send his ship into the sea
Build a mound a funeral pyre
Throw my body into the fire
Aztec pyramid
Sacrifice somebody's kid
CHORUS
Graveyard at the edge of town
Everybody knows what's going down
CHORUS
Bright light crack in the wall
Watch the baby learn how to crawl
CHORUS
