O Death lyrics
by Camper Van Beethoven
My name is death and I excel
I can open the gates to Heaven or Hell
Cast aside the flesh of the
Cast aside and set you free
[Chorus:]
Oh, oh Death
Oh, oh Death
Can't you spare me over 'til another year
Oh, oh Death
Oh, oh Death
Can't you spare me over 'til another year
I lock their jaws so they can't talk
Stiffen their legs so they can't walk
Close their eyes so they can't see
The chill you feel, it comes from me
[Chorus]
Oh Mama, Mama, come to my bed
Place a cold rag on my head
My eyes are aching and I cannot see
I feel the sheet pulling over me
[Chorus]
