about

Two dead guys meet in the after life and become best of friends.

lyrics

Crash, crash, my heart just stopped working
Splat, splat, I fell all the way down the stairs
“Hi, hi, my name is Samuel Starr
It was written on this piece of rock
And shoved into the ground”

“Hi, Hi, hello Samuel Starr
My name is Joe Jasper Cloverwood
Splash, splash, I was diving in the sea
I caught a leak in my oxygen, and I couldn’t breathe”

Chorus
Have you realized, our souls are here?
We’re living, we’re thinking
We’re supposed to be dead
But I’m happy I’m talking to you

“Oh Joe, my wife, married some no good man”
“I hear ya, Mr. Starr, I don’t think I understand”
“Well Joe, I thought, we could help each other out
We’ll get up outta this graveyard and freak the bastard out”

“OK, I’m down, but while we leave our graves
My girl, my girl is all alone and being brave
Mr. Starr, if you could, just help me make her smile
I could go back to sleep knowing I’d see her in awhile”

Chorus

“Hey, hey, it’s done now Samuel Starr
It’s a blessing that I’m buried beside where you are”
“Yeah Joe, it’s true, I feel the same way
I’m glad we got a chance to meet before we died again”.
