"When I'm Dead" lyrics

The great beyond is underwhelming
(A waste of effort)
I mean, at first it had its charms
(I ran 'em through and through)
I've touched the stars, witnessed creation
(Love, lost and lassoed)
I'm out of new, sound the alarm
(Infinity eats you)

I'm bored, I'm buggin' and I'm brazen
(My bones are buzzin')
My after-bucket list is wiped
(I miss the other side)
Then, from the black, prances a presence
(He's got a cool hat)
He whispers "you should get a life"
(My spirit starts to rise)

All aboard, come and cease to be deceased
You wanna be where the grass is greener?
An incantation, a corporeal feeling
A breakthrough, a breakdance
I can't resist

(Hi diddle dum diddle dee die dee dee
Hi diddle dum dee die)
(Hi diddle dum diddle dee die dee dee
Hi diddle dum dee die)

Hanging euphoria by a thread
Just out of reach as it ever was when I'm dead
I guess I wasn't satisfied to begin
I wanted more than the everything at the end

Shaking my legs, infused with new sensation
The mortals retching at my restoration
What am I doing wrong?
Perhaps it's the putrescence
You've been bamboozled, kid
I thought I wanted this

Waiting in eternity with eyes on the horizon
Every moment passing silently by
Careful what you wish for

(Hi diddle dum diddle dee die dee dee
Hi diddle dum dee die)
(Hi diddle dum diddle dee die dee dee
Hi diddle dum dee die)

Hanging euphoria by a thread
Just out of reach as it ever was when I'm dead
I guess I wasn't satisfied to begin
I wanted more than the everything at the end

All this time I've looked away
Was it ever really greener?
Never been here
Not really here

Keep chasing every fleeting hunger
And betting on the next

Waiting in eternity with eyes on the horizon
Every moment passing silently by
Careful what you wish for

(Hanging euphoria by a thread
Just out of reach as it ever was when I'm dead
When I'm dead)

Hanging euphoria by a thread
Just out of reach as it ever was when I'm dead
I guess I wasn't satisfied to begin
I wanted more than the everything at the end
