lyrics

The party ain’t over
I refuse to go home
I hate feeling sober
And being alone
You can’t box me up
Or put me in the ground
I’ll find a way out
So come on just take me to town
Throw the hearse in reverse
Throw the hearse in reverse

I can still hear the music
Though I may be embalmed
Come on let’s do this
‘Cuz the party goes on (goes on, goes on)
I know you can feel it
You just gotta try
So get in the spirit
It’s not time for this party to die
Throw the hearse in reverse
Throw the hearse in reverse

Drive it home, Candy Rapper (hey, hey, hey)

The hearse is the new limo
And death is the new black
I’m cruisin’ with a ghost
Who thinks the minibar’s in back
Hearing voices in my head
They don’t leave me alone
I don’t think she knows she’s dead
A talking box of bones
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
Maybe if you didn’t want to party so much
Maybe you and me’d see eye to eye
Maybe you wouldn’t be on this ride
I’m driving around from dusk to dawn
You ramble on and on and on and on and on
I’m the one driving this Cadillac
And I don’t take directions from the box in the back

Throw the hearse in reverse
She thinks she gonna tell me what to do
Throw the hearse in reverse
Shut up
If you weren’t dead, I’d have choked you myself
Throw the hearse in reverse
Hello!
Nobody’s home…
Throw the hearse in reverse
I know you can hear me!
Oh, these ghosts
Throw the hearse in reverse
I’ll give you my gold teeth
I don’t need your teeth, I’m sporting my own grill
Throw the hearse in reverse
Candy ghost
Throw the hearse in reverse
Fucking ghosts
Throw the hearse in reverse
