lyrics

We got to make a party out of this funeral
Cuz sooner than you know we will all be departing
Don't you want to be up in that numeral
Second line, saints go marching

We are dying.

The sun, one day, will refuse to shine.
The rivers, soon, will run with blood.
But balloons and dancing shoes, so get in line.
Fall in y'all for one last big fun.

We are dying.
We are dying, too.

It's aparty funeral
Trip the light fantastic
It's a party funeral
So get up out that casket

Martha moanin, Mary weeps
Selfish layin down acting like you sleep
I got the black and she got the blues
It's time for you to put on yo dancin shoes
Get out that box and move to the funk
Stink up the joint like Lazarus.
Like Lazarus. Lazurus.
Stinking up the joint like Lazarus.
Stand up!

This is on you, baby.
Don't get too comfortable.
This is on you, baby.
You gotta get up.
Is heaven getting good to you?
Or is it hell?
Does the heat feel good to you?
Well you gotta get up.
Don't leave me at this part all alone, baby.
You gotta get up.

“Literary Kravitz,” as some say. ... more
