Lyrics
09 Buried Alive
I decided to see what's on TV
Uninvited, you came to visit me
You grabbed yourself a beer
Just like you were living here
But I wouldn't dare
Not be polite
'Cause you were guest
And I should treat you right
As you were making me a root beer float
You reached over and grabbed up my remote
Now superstition's not my thingA,A
But when you changed the cannel to thirteenA,A
I ran and I divedA,A
I won't get buried alive
I won't get buried alive
I won't get buried alive
So don't you come back here no more
Leave your shovel at the door
An hour later, my favorite show came on
But there you were on the screen acting along
I said "You poisoned my root beer float!"
You said "There is no antidote!"
And that's when I cried...A,A
I won't get buried alive
I won't get buried alive
I won't get buried alive
So don't you come back here no more
Leave your shovel at the doorA,A
I won't get buried alive
I won't get buried alive
I won't get buried alive
Because I never invited you
And the least that you can do
Is introduce yourself
But I already know your name
