Louisiana Loves Her Dead

The American Tragedy


Hey bayou star
The walking dead
Ye who shall sleep forever
I have no room upon my back
For your immaculate deception

Hey bayou star
The walking dead
Ye who shall sleep forever
Our dead still move in mobile tombs
Tombs made of flesh and bone

Things come back around
Things come back around
Things come back around
Yeah

And we love our dead
We put their graves above ground
Their graves above the wind
We love our dead
We put their graves above ground
Their graves above the wind

We love our dead
We put their graves above ground
Their graves above the wind
We love our dead
We put their graves above ground
Their graves above the wind

Bayou star
The walking dead
Ye who shall sleep for always
