The Ants Crawl In

[Instrumental Intro] [verse] That old black hearse goes rolling by, You don’t know whether to laugh or cry For you know that some day it will get you too, The hearse's next load may consist of you They wrap you up in a crisp, clean sheet, And dig a hole about 6 feet deep They take you away in an old black hack, They take you away but don't bring you back [chorus] You ain't comin' back no more Not forever or before You're dead and quite gone Your life account's overdrawn You ain't comin' back no more! [verse] The men with shovels stand all around, They shovel you into that cold, wet ground They shovel in dirt, they throw in rocks, They don’t give a damn if they breach the box It all goes well for about a week, And then your casket springs a filthy leak The worms crawl in, the worms crawl out, The ants play Peenuckle on your snout [bridge] Your stomach turns a grassy green, (grassy green) The pus comes out like whipping cream (disgusting, whipping cream) You lie there dead, no one can say, How long before your bones decay.. ... [chorus] You ain't comin' back no more Not forever or before You're dead and quite gone Your life account's overdrawn You ain't comin' You ain't comin' back no more! [verse] You're almost gone, not much remains, There‘s nothing left but a bunch of stains You're all gone now, you've turned to dust, You've joined the rest of the Earth's great crust [Goodbye] You ain't comin' You ain't comin' back no more! You ain't comin' You ain't comin' back no more! [Outro] If you were evil, you'll go to hell, What a bad ending, it's not very swell! So be good, my friends, and you will go, Upward to Heaven, yes, this I know!
