The Worms Crawl In (The Hearse Song) Songtext
von Creature Feature

The coroner carves
Your family cries
The mortician fits you with glass eyes
They dress you in your favorite suit
And shuffle you to your tomb

Then your carcass is on parade
For all to see
How much you paid
Then six feet deep
Is where you′re laid
And earth sprinkled on your grave

The worms crawl in
The worms crawl out
Devour your body from organs to grout
The insects feed upon your flesh
And beetles burrow inside your chest


Don't you ever laugh
As a hearse goes by
For you will surely someday die
They drain you of every ounce of blood
And you will slowly melt into the mud

In the ground
You′ll decompose
A host for fungus, spores, and mold
Eventually you'll split a seam
And life is but a dream

Any moment along the way
If you've the need to run astray
Remember those on the earthly plane
And stay put in your grave

The worms crawl in
The worms crawl out
Devour your body from organs to grout
The insects feed upon your flesh
And beetles burrow inside your chest

Don′t you ever laugh
As a hearse goes by
For you will surely someday die
They drain you of every ounce of blood
And you will slowly melt into the mud


Laid to rest
Six foot deep
Feast for worms
In your sleep

The worms crawl in
The worms crawl out
Devour your body from organs to grout
The insects feed upon your flesh
And beetles burrow inside your chest

Don′t you ever laugh
As a hearse goes by
For you will surely someday die
They drain you of every ounce of blood
And you will slowly melt into the mud
