(Chorus)

Dm

In the afterlife

A

You could be headed for the serious strife

Now you make the scene all day

Dm

But tomorrow there'll be Hell to pay

(repeat)

People listen a-ttentively

A

I mean about future calamity

I used to think the idea was obsolete

Dm

Until I heard the old man tappin’ his feet

Chorus (instrumental only)

This is a place where eternally

Fire is applied to the body

Teeth are extruded and bones are ground

And made into cakes which are passed around

Chorus, Instrumental x2

Beauty, talent, fame, money

Refinement of skill and brain

But all the things you tried to hide.

Will be revealed on the other side

Chorus, Instrumental

Now the D and the A and the M and the N and the A and the T

and the I-O-N

Lose your face, lose your name

Then get fitted for a suit of flame

(repeat)
