Brian Dewan - Cadavers lyrics

Cadavers, cadavers, everywhere cadavers Cadavers, cadavers Everywhere cadavers, lying all about Their clothing is in disarray, their teeth are falling out Discoloring and decaying, they cannot pull their weight They block the path of pa**ersby until they desiccate Faces sunken hollow, forward in a slump Sandwiched in the wallboards, hidden in the dump Face-down in a puddle, spoiling in the sun Exuding hideous odors, offeding everyone Wasting in a basement, left out in the rain Propped up in a stairwell, dangling from a crane Beneath a pile of rubble, hoisted up on high Rising from the ocean, falling from the sky Cadavers, cadavers, set them out to dry Paint the head with pitch and put a penny in its eye Tie it to a fender and drag it all around Tell it that it ought to have been buried in the ground Insult them and degrade them, they will not protest Except with quiet gurglings arising from the chest Kicked aside and picked on by ordinary folks Employed by student doctors in ungodly practical jokes Where signs of life are present, cadavers are as well There's no use trying to look away or hiding from the smell Where once beloved people were, cadavers are instead It falls upon the living to live among the dead The fluids that they're leaking will trickle by and by And overnight contaminate the drinking water supply Floating down the river, strewn along the banks We'll share in their diseases, we'll join them in their ranks
