Pushing Daisies
Creature Feature Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Good evening, I′d like for you to give you a warm welcome to a
Favorite act of mine. They're here again to pose the question,
Does love ever truly die? Ladies and gentleman,
I′d like to welcome back... Creature Feature!

Hey, baby baby
I feel like I'm cursed
I watched them load you
In the back of a hearse
I'm going crazy
How much more can I stand?
Back from the dead
With your skin all dispersed

Hey, baby baby
I feel like I′m damned
I watched you lying
On a marble slab
This purgatory
How much more can I stand?
Your walking corpse
Is getting out of hand

Several weeks
You′ve been rotting in the ground
Not a sound
It's impossible to escape the fray
Of the grave
You should just be cold in your burial plot, but you′re not
Now you're back from beyond the other side
But you died

Hey, baby baby
I watched you depart
Lowered in the ground and into the dark
You′re pushing daisies
Since death we did part
[??] wish to be your heart

Several weeks
You've been rotting in the ground
Not a sound
It′s impossible to escape the fray
Of the grave
You should just be cold in your burial plot, but you're not
Now you're back from beyond the other side
But you died

Several weeks
You′ve been rotting in the ground
Not a sound
It′s impossible to escape the fray
Of the grave
You should just be cold in your burial plot, but you're not
Now you′re back from beyond the other side
But you died





My dear friends,
Thank you for tuning back in. Once again, I have to bid you farewell
