"Dead Don't Dance" lyrics - ALICE COOPER

If I wasn't in a band I'd probably be a criminal
I estimate my options would be absolutely minimal

[Pre-Chorus:]
I'd be drinkin' all day, but dying of thirst
Smokin' and chokin' and worse

[Chorus:]
The dead don't dance
The dead don't dance
They just stumble around like zombies in a trance
'Cause the dead don't dance

If I wasn't in a band they would need to do away with me
They'd put me in the ground with profound animosity

[Pre-Chorus:]
I'd sing to the worms, but they'd turn their back
My beats would be under attack

[Chorus:]
'Cause the dead don't dance
The dead don't dance
They just stumble around like zombies in a trance
'Cause the dead don't

[Bridge:]
I'd try to organize a graveyard hop, oh yeah
I'd misprioritize and it'd be a flop, oh no
So I would be demortalized, but I wouldn't stop
And I'd probably be deportalized to some other plot, oh

[Guitar solo]

[Chorus:]
'Cause the dead don't dance
The dead don't dance
They stumble around like zombies in a trance
'Cause the dead don't dance

[Outro:]
The dead don't dance
They just stumble around like zombies in a trance
'Cause the dead don't dance
