Intro: Dm A

Dm
In the afterlife
                            A
You could be headed for the serious strife

Now you make the scene all day
                         Dm
But tomorrow there'll be hell to pay (2X)

Dm
People listen attentively
                    A
I mean about future calamity

I used to think the idea was obsolete
                                       Dm
Until I heard the old man stamping his feet

Dm
In the afterlife
                            A
You could be headed for the serious strife

Now you make the scene all day
                         Dm
But tomorrow there'll be hell to pay

          Dm
This is a place where eternally
                       A
Fire is applied to the body

Teeth are extruded and bones are ground
                                      Dm
And baked into cakes which are passed around

Dm
In the afterlife
                            A
You could be headed for the serious strife

Now you make the scene all day
                         Dm
But tomorrow there'll be hell to pay

Dm
Beauty, talent, fame, money, refinement
               A
job skills and brains

But all the things you try to hide
                        Dm
Will be revealed on the other side

Dm
In the afterlife
                            A
You could be headed for the serious strife

Now you make the scene all day
                         Dm
But tomorrow there'll be hell to pay

Instrumental: Dm A Dm

         D
Now the 'D' and the 'A' and the 'M' and the 'N'
                                 A
And the 'A' and the 'T' and the 'I'-'O'-'N'

Lose your face, lose your name
                      Dm
Then get fitted for a suit of flame! (2X)
