[Verse]
G C G Em
the ghosts of the palliative care ward have been following me
G C G Em
whispering through the clear plastic lining over their dead bodies
G C G Em
their diapers and their feces still on the hospital sheets
G C G Em
they're dead but they're still up walking around and they say to me
[Chorus]
G
"death is pretty sweet"
Em C G
we're in the valley of the dead
Em C G Em C G
cremated bodies in the air and the rotten ones underneath
Em C
where we harvest the food we eat
Em G Em G
I'm not scared of death because death's all over me
[Verse]
C G Em
I've been spending my time hanging out in hospital wards
G C G Em
bringing flowers and love letters to my quadriplegic baby
G C G Em
the ache of his colostomy bag and his blood transfusions
G C G Em
his medication makes him so sleepy but he still whispers to me
[Chorus]
G
"death is pretty sweet"
Em C G
we're in the valley of the dead
Em C G Em C G
bodies turn to liquid in the heat, the particles crawl into our pores
Em C
and they soak into our wooden floors
Em G Em G
I'm not scared of death because death's all over me
Em G Em G
I'm not scared of death because death's all over me
