Darken the Doorstep - The Hearse Song (The Worms Crawl In) Lyrics

Well don't you laugh as my hearse goes by for you may be the next to die
I'll wrap you up in a bloody sheet and drop you six feet underneath
I'll put you in my "special box" and cover you up with dirt and rocks
It all goes well for about a week and then your coffin begins to leak

Well the worms crawl in
The worms crawl out
The worms play Pinochle on your snout
They eat your eyes your toes
As you begin to decompose

A slimy beetle with demon's eye
Chew through your stomach and out your sides
Your stomach turns a slimy green and pus pours out like whipping cream
You put it on a slice of bread and that's what you eat when you're dead

And the worms crawl out- the worms crawl in, the worms that crawl in are lean and thin
The worms that crawl out, are fat and stout, yhour chest caves in and your hair falls out

They invite their friends and your friends too
They all come down to chew on you
And this is what it is to die
I hope you have a nice goodbye

And the guilt will rise to take you down
It holds you under you drown
Your mind gives up and you despair
The damage is done, it's beyond repair

And your suffering will not compare

The worms crawl in, they don't crawl out
The devour your dreams as the lights go out
And when your soul begins to rot
Your screams remain but you do not

And the worms crawl in, the worms crawl out,
The worms they will sing of despair and drought
And when your heart begins to doubt
(Know) these are the things I can do without

So don't ever laugh as my hearse goes by, for someday you'll be the next to die
Your hair falls out and your teeth decay, and that is the end to a perfect day
