Jasper in Deadland the Musical - Living Dead Lyrics
GRETCHEN (spoken):
Alright bucko, I’ll take you to all the hot spots,
but don't be surprised when you find your friend
if she’s having too good a time to leave,
‘cause I’m telling you this city is unplugged like life support.
(sung)
Excuse this grotesque act of reveling
It’s just it kills me why you’ve come.
CITIZENS:
Ooh, it kills me! Ooh, it just kills me!
CITIZENS & GRETCHEN:
Kills me why you’ve come!
GRETCHEN:
There’s no looking twice
Deadland’s paradise
Not the kind of place to save someone from
Makes no difference how you fed the worms
It’s a scream once you arrive.
CITIZENS: You’ll be screaming, ooh, you’ll be screaming
GRETCHEN: Scream if you’re not alive!
CITIZENS: Ooh!
GRETCHEN: Once you
CITIZENS & GRETCHEN: Give your ghost
GRETCHEN: We all give a toast
CITIZENS: To Jasper!
GRETCHEN: Join in our angelic jive!
CITIZENS: Join in our angelic
La la la la la la la la la
Join in our angelic jive!
GRETCHEN:
Look, we’ll writhe around the town
‘Cause your friend may still be found
‘Cause she’s got nothin’ left but her soul and a bag
Now, she’s living dead (Dead, Dead)
Since her coil’s sprung, and her bucket’s been kickin’
She’s got nothin’ to lose now her time’s finished tickin’
Living
CITIZENS & GRETCHEN: Da-da-da-dead, dead
GRETCHEN: Living dead.’
CITIZENS:
Dead (Dead dead dead)
Dead (Dead dead dead)
GRETCHEN:
Carve a flat line through your miseries
And don’t be fooled by all the grey
CITIZENS: Don’t be fooled, don’tcha be fooled
GRETCHEN: It’s a scary awesome stay
CITIZENS: It’s a scary stay
GRETCHEN: CITIZENS:
There’s no splitting hairs Hoo-hoo la,
All your life’s despairs Hoo-hoo la!
Will at last fast pass away Last fast pass away!
La la la la la la la la La la la la la la la la la
GRETCHEN: It’s just a roll around this grave (Ooh)
GRETCHEN & THE STIFFS:
Where your friend is yours to save
‘cause she’s got nothin’ left
THE STIFFS:
But her soul and a bag
Now, she’s living dead
VARIOUSLY:
Now she’s living dead!
THE STIFFS:
Since her coil’s sprung
And her bucket’s been kickin’ but
She’s got nothin’ to lose now her time’s finished tickin’ Living
GRETCHEN: Da-da-da-dead
CITIZENS & GRETCHEN: Da-da-da-dead
CITIZENS: Living dead
VOICE: (spoken) Welcome to the club Helheim Stage, Osiris!
OSIRIS (sung):
And there’s a pulse that beats
When you’re no longer breathin’ CLUBBERS:
People living dead Ooh, Living dead
Got her daisies pushed
For the farm that she’s buyin’ Farm that she’s buyin'
‘cause you got nothin’ but time But time
When you’ve no time for dyin’ No time for dyin'
Living dead! Da-da-da-dead, dead
Living dead!
JASPER: (spoken)
I have a missing person.
Has anyone seen an Agnes Fairchild?
GRETCHEN: (sung) And he hopes despite despair
JASPER: (spoken)
Agnes? Excuse me,
but have you seen an Agnes Fairchild?
GRETCHEN: (sung)
But it’s him who needs a prayer
‘Cause he’s got nothin’ left but his soul and a map
Walking with the dead
He’s so cool, he’s so tough, he’d bet his life on tomorrow
But doesn’t he know life is nothing but sorrow? Living
Forget living
Who needs living?
Yeah who needs living
When you’re living
Dead?
CITIZENS: ONE CITIZEN: ANOTHER:
She’s got nothin’ left Сan’t lose
But her soul and a bag. Nothin’ left Nothin’, no you
Now, she’s living dead. But her soul and a bag. Can’t lose
Nothin’ left Nothin’, no you
But her soul and a bag.
Since her coil’s sprung, Nothin’ left Сan’t lose
And her bucket’s still kickin’ But her soul and a bag. Nothin’.
She’s got nothin’ to lose
Now her time’s finished tickin’
ALL:
And there’s a pulse that beats
When you’re no longer breathin’
People living dead.
Got our daisies pushed
For the farm that she’s buyin’
‘Cause you got nothin’ but time
Now you’ve no time for dyin’
Living dead! Living dead! Living
GRETCHEN:
Dead, dead, dead, dead CITIZENS:
It’s the day, Dead, dead, dead, dead
It’s the night, Dead, dead, dead, dead
It’s the dawn Dead, dead, dead, dead
Of the
ALL:
Dead!
