I wasborn in a cemetery
And learned towalk onskulls andbones
Wastaught tospeak by theliving dead
And raisedbeneatha funeral moon

Horror stories,talkingheads
Segregatetheliving dead
The livingdead

I'm ashadowonyour brightest dreams
Ahorse for BaronSamedi
Purevoodoo, economichell
I've come topick yourcarcassclean

Horror stories, talking heads
Segregatetheliving dead,oh!
Horrorstories,talking heads
Shilling forthethoroughbreds
Racial strife andrisingdebts
Segregatetheliving dead

I'm the resurrection man
Ajackalin a three-piecesuit
Deathand taxes for the damned
Brought to heel beneath my boot
So chase that carrot straight to hell
The status that you're dying for
And decorate your coffin well
The system is a graveyard

I'm Loki in the counting room
Trickle-down narcotic doom
Superfunds for cancer towns
The bottom line is six feet down

(I'm gonna bury you
I'm gonna bury you)
In barren ground
Six feet down

Horror stories, talking heads
The living dead
I'm gonna bury you
Barren ground
