I Love the Dead Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I love the dead before they're cold
The bluing flesh for me to hold

Cadaver eyes upon me see
Nothing


[Verse 2]
I love the dead before they rise
No farewells, no goodbyes

I never even knew your now rotting face
While friends and lovers mourn your silly grave
I have other uses for you, darling


[Bridge]
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
Dead-dead-dead-dead-dead-dead
Dead-dead-dead-dead-dead-dead

[Chorus]
I love the dead
(Dead, dead, dead)
I love the dead
(Dead, dead, dead)
I love the dead, so
[Chorus]
I love the dead
(Dead, dead, dead)
I love the dead
(Dead, dead, dead)
I love the dead
I love the dead
(Dead, dead, dead)
I love the dead
(Dead, dead, dead)
I love the dead
I love the dead
(Dead, dead, dead)
I love the dead
(Dead, dead, dead)
I love the dead
I love the dead
(Dead, dead, dead)
I love the dead
(Dead, dead, dead)
I love the dead
I love the dead
(Dead, dead, dead)
I love the dead
(Dead, dead, dead)
I, I love the dead

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Genius Annotation

A delightful song about necrophilia.
An equally delightful video with blood, bodies and a guillotine.
