If I wasn't in a band I'd probably be a criminal
I estimate my options would be absolutely minimal

I'd be drinkin' all day, but dying of thirst
I'd be smokin' and chokin' and worse

The dead don't dance
The dead don't dance
They just stumble around like zombies in a trance
'Cause the dead don't dance

If I wasn't in a band they would need to do away with me
They'd put me in the ground with profound animosity

I'd sing to the worms, but they'd turn their back
My beats would be under attack

'Cause the dead don't dance
The dead don't dance
They just stumble around like zombies in a trance
'Cause the dead don't

I'd try to organize a graveyard hop, oh yeah
I'd misprioritise and it'd be a flop, oh no
So I would be demortalised, but I wouldn't stop
And I'd probably be deportalised to some other plot, oh

'Cause the dead don't dance
The dead don't dance
They stumble around like zombies in a trance
'Cause the dead don't dance

The dead don't dance
They just stumble around like zombies in a trance
'Cause the dead don't dance
