the widow's bane - don't be afraid; it's only death lyrics
just beyond that wide river styx
is a place where sick men like me get our kicks
it’s a waiting room, like you’ve never seen before
with a twenty-five piece band
and a ten-thousand square foot ballroom floor, now
oh, there’s a lady all dressed in black
all gussied up, with a bullet in her head
looks like she could use a drink
or a dance with the dead
oh, lucky me, i’m the fella in black
who knows how to tango with a flask full of jack
i sauntered up slowly
and this is what i said:
don’t be afraid, it’s only death
it’s just as natural as your first breath
yeah, life’s a b-tch
and then you fall
but h-ll’s a myth
and the afterlife’s a ball
now you’re looking like you’ve never heard of a two-step before
have another drink, don’t think, get on your feet
we’re gonna show you what they’re for
now–left, right, left
pick it up!
left, right, left
you’re doing great, kid!
left, right, left, right, left, right, left
now, look, we’re all god’s children; god is a cannibal
who never stops eating ’cause his belly’s never full
but if you’ve fallen from the land of the slaves
there ain’t no god here, or you’d be saved
don’t be afraid, it’s only death
it’s just as natural as your first breath
yeah, life’s a b-tch
and then you die
but h-ll’s a myth
and heaven is just a lie
and now you’re looking like you’ve never heard of a two-step before
have another drink, don’t think, get on your feet
we’re gonna show you what they’re for
left, right, left
pick it up
left, right, left
you’re doing great, kid
left, right, left, right, left, right, left
