hot cauldron ragtime ft. Adithi Sagar Lyrics

Once upon a time

Came a man trying to make a plan

He said he wants to live a life

That's good so he won't have to be sad

The man learned in time

That joy isn't justly had

He said if I want it good

Then all I gotta do is be bad

Come speak to me in allegory

Place it squarely on your head

It was danse macabre

And now it's a meme

Called dance until you're dead

You seem so happy

With your lyres and spires

Of godly and muscular men

But we've got oil

Brought to a boil

And the fumes spell out

"You're next"

Believe me when I say

Despite your fun and games

Soon there'll be a day

When you're gonna have to pay

All you can see and feel and hear

Will be us wheezing, teasing you with our spears

Mocking at all your sins and tears and fears and lies

While we force you to do the hot cauldron ragtime

Red shining lips and antimony

Just like the way you always want it

But you're out of luck when the girl is dead

And she leaves your old place haunted

You're prideful pagans

For all we know

Just perfumed peacocks in heaven

But do you know

You'll be frying below

While we're counting your sins by the seven?

Believe me when I say

Of all the beds you've made

Once you're lying in this one

Oh, you'll be begging to be slain

All the times you've told white lies

Appalled by the way your victims cried before they died

Plotted on a living screen before your very eyes

While we force you to do the hot cauldron ragtime

Once you're done and dusted

You can have your tombs and bells

But your peace won't last for long

Because we're waiting here to burn you in hell

All you can see and feel and hear

Will be us wheezing, teasing you with our spears

Mocking at all your sins and tears and fears and lies

While we watch and you do the hot cauldron ragtime
