lyrics

to the devil and all his cockroaches
we'll raise our glass today
but before we sip this poison wine
we will kneel and pray
the pastor says come and get it
the drugs and the money's right here
but where was he
when I needed him
a downtown drink and beer

we're too sweet to die
we'll be buried alive
the lipstick on my shirt says
we're too sweet to die

you threw me out of the limo
I fell and smashed my head
stumbled to the water
and sank to the river bed
down there with the roots and weeds
was dragged along for awhile
hell like chilly winters
at night all the hunter's style

but up up up goes love
and down down down goes hate
you left me up at the garden
and left me by the pearly gates

we're too sweet to die
we'll be buried alive
the lipstick on my shirt says
we're too sweet to die

but up up up goes love
and down down down goes hate
you left me up at the garden
and left me by the pearly gates

we're too sweet to die
we'll be buried alive
the lipstick on my shirt says
we're too sweet to die

the writing on my grave says
we're too sweet to die
