Lyrics to Cadavers
Cadavers cadavers
Everywhere cadavers
Cadavers
Cadavers
(2x)
Everywhere cadavers
Lying all about
Their clothing is in disarray
Their teeth are falling out
Discoloring and decaying
They cannot pull their weight
They block the path of passersby
Until they desiccate
Faces sunk and hollow
Forward in a slump
Sandwiched in the wall-boards
Hidden in the dump
Face-down in a puddle
Spoiling in the sun
Exuding hideous odors
Offending everyone
Wasting in a basement
Left out in the rain
Propped up in a stairwell
Dangling from a crane
Beneath a pile of rubble
Hoisted up on high
Rising from the ocean
Falling from the sky
Cadavers cadavers
Set them out to dry
Paint the head with pitch and
Put a penny in its eye
Tie it to a fender
And drag it all around
Tell it that it ought to have been
Buried in the ground
Insult them and degrade them
They will not protest
Except with quiet gurglings
Arising from the chest
Kicked aside and picked on
By ordinary folks
Employed by student doctors in
Ungodly practical jokes
Where signs of life are present
Cadavers are as well
There's no use trying to look away
Or hiding from the smell
Where once beloved people were
Cadavers are instead
It falls upon the living
To live among the dead.
The fluids that they're leaking
Will trickle by and by,
And overnight contaminate
The drinking water supply.
Floating down the river,
Strewn along the banks,
We'll share in their diseases.
We'll join them in their ranks.
Cadavers cadavers
Everywhere cadavers
Cadavers cadavers
Everywhere cadavers
Cadavers
Cadavers
Everywhere cadavers
Cadavers
Cadavers
(2x)
Everywhere cadavers
Lying all about
Their clothing is in disarray
Their teeth are falling out
Discoloring and decaying
They cannot pull their weight
They block the path of passersby
Until they desiccate
Faces sunk and hollow
Forward in a slump
Sandwiched in the wall-boards
Hidden in the dump
Face-down in a puddle
Spoiling in the sun
Exuding hideous odors
Offending everyone
Wasting in a basement
Left out in the rain
Propped up in a stairwell
Dangling from a crane
Beneath a pile of rubble
Hoisted up on high
Rising from the ocean
Falling from the sky
Cadavers cadavers
Set them out to dry
Paint the head with pitch and
Put a penny in its eye
Tie it to a fender
And drag it all around
Tell it that it ought to have been
Buried in the ground
Insult them and degrade them
They will not protest
Except with quiet gurglings
Arising from the chest
Kicked aside and picked on
By ordinary folks
Employed by student doctors in
Ungodly practical jokes
Where signs of life are present
Cadavers are as well
There's no use trying to look away
Or hiding from the smell
Where once beloved people were
Cadavers are instead
It falls upon the living
To live among the dead.
The fluids that they're leaking
Will trickle by and by,
And overnight contaminate
The drinking water supply.
Floating down the river,
Strewn along the banks,
We'll share in their diseases.
We'll join them in their ranks.
Cadavers cadavers
Everywhere cadavers
Cadavers cadavers
Everywhere cadavers
Cadavers
