[ riff ]
Under the arc of a weather stain boards
Ancient goblins, and warlords
Come out of the ground, not making a sound
The smell of death is all around
C D
And the night when the cold wind blows
C D Bb C
No one cares, noobody knows
D F C Bb
I don't wanna be buried in a pet sematary
D C Bb C
I don't want to live my life again
I don't wanna be buried...
Follow Victor to the sacred place
This ain't a dream, I can't escape
Molars and fangs, the clicking of bones
Spirits moaning among the tombstones
And the night, when the moon is bright
Someone cries, something ain't right
I don't wanna be buried...
I don't wanna be buried...

The moon is full, the air is still
All of a sudden I feel a chill
Victor is grinning, flesh rotting away
Skeletons dance, I curse this day
And the night, when the wolves cry out
Listen close and you can hear me shout
I don't wanna be buried...
I don't wanna be buried...
