To live their lives, oh
And don't you bury me six feet under ground
It's like a man's best party, only happens when he dies
Just let me go in peace
We celebrate the lives of the dead
We gather 'round to pay our respects
We gather 'round to pay our respects
Racing through my mind, oh
The reaper crept in, took his breath away
Searching for the light
While their souls are still searching for the light
While their souls are still searching for the light
Out into the night sky
With all the things that I forgot to say
In the middle of the night, oh
Searching for the light
Just burn my body in a box
Searching for the light, oh
As tears of sadness soak the ground
Johnny lived a good life, you'll hear them say
And let my ashes blow with the wind
So please don't come to me on my dying day
We celebrate the lives of the dead
There's people searching for a better way
It's like a man's best party, only happens when he dies
