about

A jaunty uptempo dream of the underworld set in an Irish pub....

lyrics

hell
verse:
the ocean of my slumber becomes a stormy sea
suddenly the gates of hell open just for me
and the devil is behind the bar laying whiskey down
so i put up and buy the tortured souls a round

chorus:
now we sing the songs that dead men sing
and rattle all the bones
`cuz we'd rather be in hell together
than heaven all alone

verse:
murderers and cutthroats check their weapons at the door
through the entrance in the back come the jezebels and whores
the suicides are in the bathroom slicing up their hands
the overdoses are playing in the band

chorus:
now we sing the songs that dead men sing
and rattle all the bones
`cuz we'd rather be in hell together
than heaven all alone

verse:
now there's billy boy from down the street i'd wondered where he went
after he chopped his mother up and stuffed her down a vent
and then there's frank and lonesome johnny and butcher bob as well
and a hundred other losers that i said i'd see in hell

chorus:
now we sing the songs that dead men sing
and rattle all the bones
`cuz we'd rather be in hell together
than heaven all alone
