Lyrics
I’m the gravedigger baby
I get up before sunrise
The black birds dance in the morning wind
Cause they can smell somebody died
There’s no need to cry, no
Don’t you know that everybody dies yeah!
I’m the gravedigger baby
It’s a job nobody wants
I gotta dig a big black hole in the ground
The bodies come
The boss wants em gone
I know it sounds so sad
It’s okay I’m just a working man yeah!
(Guitar break)
Oh don’t cry, you’re gonna die too….
The smell of death in the morning with my coffee gets me high
I make my living with the dead all day
Some are fresh and some are dry
There’s no need to feel down
I realize that life comes and goes around yeah!
(Guitar break)
I’m the gravedigger baby
I make all the pain disappear
So when you’re out there living it up
Think of me and have a beer
I’m not a wise man, I know
But I can tell you this,…
Life ain’t so beautiful no!
(End)
