lyrics

Sliding out of the dirt.
Crawling up through the earth.
Ghostly bodies in heat. Deadbeat.
Back sore from the sleep.
We dance seething in the street.
Scare everybody we meet. Deadbeat.
Relics exhumed from the grave.
Some freshly decayed.
Strip off the winding sheet. Deadbeat.
Slide along on the dirt.
Decrepit bodies emerge.
Flesh rots off your feet. Deadbeat.
