Sugar Skulls

SUGAR SKULLS

Black-eyed Suze and Marigold
Sugar Skulled angelic souls
Black-eyed Suze and Marigold
Still dancing but the bell has tolled.

Beat the drums and stamp your feet
Blow and strum onto the beat
Beat the drums and stamp your feet
Ain’t gonna save your doggone soul

chorus:
Feast with the beast
the deceased will be unleashed
Tonight goes up what should be down
(cause) one day it is you under the ground
(sugar skulled Marie, sugar skulled Suzie)

Move your ass while having it
Raise your hands expressing it
Move  your ass while having it
jump and hop until you loose control

Shake your frame and rattle it
Embrace life but don’t strangle it
Shake your frame and rattle it
You and us we’re gonna have a ball

chorus:
Praise be the sun
But we’ll dance ‘till Kingdom come
In the end it’s safe to say
saint and sinner end up the same way
(sugar skulled Marie, sugar skulled Suzie)

Marigold loves Black-eyed Suze
In life there was no way they could
Marigold loves Black-eyed Suze
See their razzling-dazzling bodies stroll

chorus:
Feast with the beast
The deceased will be unleashed
In the end it’s safe to say
all are equal in decay
Let’s bring up what should be down
(cause) one day it is you under the ground
