Lyrics
Rise spirits rise
Rise spirits rise
Rise spirits rise
Rise spirits rise
Dance with the dead
And a happy melody in your head
If you really wanna see them again
Well you can
Dance with the dead
And a happy melody in your head
If you really wanna see them again
Well you can
Callin’ Uncle Ward on the Ouija board
And invited him to the party
All the boys and girls from the afterworld
Not afraid to get down and dirty
They’ll be havin’ a ball
They’ll be walkin’ through walls
Comin’ out of the grave lookin’ purdy
Spirits gonna fly ‘cause we all gonna die
And everybody’s feelin’ hiiiiigh
Dance with the dead
And a happy melody in your head
If you really wanna see them again
Well you can
Yeah, yeah
Dance with the dead
And a happy melody in your head
If you really wanna see them again
Well you can
Heaven sakes alive
You ain’t too weak to survive
I seen you at the church gettin’ saved
The preacher led the band
We were clappin’ our hands
Everyone was startin’ to sway
Things could be worse, in the back of a hearse
You’d be cryin’ all the way to the graveyard
C’mon everyone no regrets for what’s done
Everybody’s havin’ fun
Dance with the dead
And a happy melody in your head
If you really wanna see them again
Well you can
