Just Around The Corner

歌詞

Morticia: My daughter's getting married. I can't believe it's true. She doesn't ask her parents before she says "I do". And what about my husband? Oblivious, naive. This evening's getting serious: these Ohioans won't leave. But I can't let these latest problems rob me of my bliss. For when I'm scared of true disaster, I remember this: Death is just around the corner waiting patiently to strike. One unplanned electrocution that's the kind of end I can comprehend. When I'm feeling uninspired Or I need a little spree I'm reborn knowing death is just around the corner coming after me. (spoken) Get it? Coroner. Death is just around the... corner. Death is just around the corner Waiting high upon the hill Someone buried in an avalanche (gasp) that's the kind of gig I can really dig. Marriage often disappoints you. Not each husband is a gem. So I'll mourn knowing death is just around the corner coming after them. If life's all plums I'll muddle through some. But when death comes I hope it's gruesome. (hot-cha) Some people die from public stoning, faulty wiring, faulty zoning, cherry pits they didn't know were there. (choking noise) It could be by a jungle cat Female Ancestor: A slippery mat. Male Ancestor: A baseball bat. Morticia: Perhaps an unsuccessful love affair. (crying noise) It could be on a speeding train, It could be underwater. It could be too much Novocain or even by your daughter. Female Ancestor: Perhaps a bad mosquito bite. Male Ancestor: A title fight. Female Ancestors: Religious rite. Morticia: My darlings, it might even be tonight. Death is just around the corner no one's ever been immune. Turning off a respirator with a simple click strenuously quick. I can face a new tomorrow if I make it past today. I feel good saying death is just around the corner simply on its way. Death is just around the corner and you have to heed the call. (Don't ask why) For your death is just around the corner (You and I) Happy being both the mourned and mourner (Say goodbye) Because death is just around the corner coming for us all.
