A thrilling musical from Ryan Scott Oliver and Hunter Foster
Jasper in Deadland The Musical - Living Dead Lyrics

[Spoken]
[GRETCHEN] Alright bucko, I’ll take you to all the hot spots,
but don't be surprised when you find your friend if she’s having too good a time to leave,
‘cause I’m telling you this city is unplugged like life support.

[Sung]
Excuse this grotesque act of reveling
It’s just it kills me why you’ve come.

[CITIZENS] Ooh, it kills me! Ooh, it just kills me!
[CITIZENS & GRETCHEN] Kills me why you’ve come!

[GRETCHEN] There’s no looking twice
Deadland’s paradise
Not the kind of place to save someone from

Makes no difference how you fed the worms
It’s a scream once you arrive.

[CITIZENS] You’ll be screaming, ooh, you’ll be screaming
[GRETCHEN] Scream if you’re not alive!
[CITIZENS] Ooh!

[GRETCHEN] Once you
[CITIZENS & GRETCHEN] Give your ghost
[GRETCHEN] We all give a toast
[CITIZENS] To Jasper!
[GRETCHEN] Join in our angelic jive!
[CITIZENS] Join in our angelic
La la la la la la la la la
Join in our angelic jive!

[GRETCHEN] Look, we’ll writhe around the town
‘Cause your friend may still be found
‘Cause she’s got nothin’ left but her soul and a bag
Now, she’s living dead (Dead, Dead)
Since her coil’s sprung, and her bucket’s been kickin’
She’s got nothin’ to lose now her time’s finished tickin’
Living

[CITIZENS & GRETCHEN] Da-da-da-dead, dead
[GRETCHEN] Living dead.’

[CITIZENS] Dead (Dead dead dead)
Dead (Dead dead dead)

[GRETCHEN] Carve a flat line through your miseries
And don’t be fooled by all the grey

[CITIZENS] Don’t be fooled, don’tcha be fooled
[GRETCHEN] It’s a scary awesome stay
[CITIZENS] It’s a scary stay

[GRETCHEN]                              [CITIZENS]
There’s no splitting hairs           Hoo-hoo la,
All your life’s despairs                Hoo-hoo la!
Will at last fast pass away         Last fast pass away!
La la la la la la la la                     La la la la la la la la la

[GRETCHEN] It’s just a roll around this grave (Ooh)

[GRETCHEN & THE STIFFS] Where your friend is yours to save
‘cause she’s got nothin’ left

[THE STIFFS (VARIOUSLY)] But her soul and a bag
Now, she’s living dead (Now she’s living dead!)
Since her coil’s sprung
And her bucket’s been kickin’ but
She’s got nothin’ to lose now her time’s finished tickin’ Living

[GRETCHEN] Da-da-da-dead
[CITIZENS & GRETCHEN] Da-da-da-dead
[CITIZENS] Living dead

[Spoken]
[VOICE] Welcome to the club Helheim Stage, Osiris!

[Sung]
[OSIRIS] And there’s a pulse that beats
When you’re no longer breathin’                   [CLUBBERS]
People living dead                                       Ooh, Living dead
Got her daisies pushed
For the farm that she’s buyin’                        Farm that she’s buyin'
‘cause you got nothin’ but time                     But time
When you’ve no time for dyin’                       No time for dyin'
Living dead!                                                Da-da-da-dead, dead
Living dead!

[Spoken]
[JASPER] I have a missing person. Has anyone seen an Agnes Fairchild?

[Sung]
[GRETCHEN] And he hopes despite despair

[Spoken]
[JASPER] Agnes? Excuse me, but have you seen an Agnes Fairchild?

[Sung]
[GRETCHEN] But it’s him who needs a prayer
‘Cause he’s got nothin’ left but his soul and a map
Walking with the dead
He’s so cool, he’s so tough, he’d bet his life on tomorrow
But doesn’t he know life is nothing but sorrow? Living
Forget living
Who needs living?
Yeah who needs living
When you’re living
Dead?

[CITIZENS]                              [ONE CITIZEN]                      [ANOTHER]
She’s got nothin’ left                                                           Сan’t lose
But her soul and a bag.             Nothin’ left                            Nothin’, no you
Now, she’s living dead.              But her soul and a bag.            Can’t lose
Nothin’ left                              Nothin’, no you
But her soul and a bag.    
Since her coil’s sprung,              Nothin’ left                             Сan’t lose
And her bucket’s still kickin’        But her soul and a bag.            Nothin’.
She’s got nothin’ to lose
Now her time’s finished tickin’

[ALL] And there’s a pulse that beats
When you’re no longer breathin’
People living dead.
Got our daisies pushed
For the farm that she’s buyin’
‘Cause you got nothin’ but time
Now you’ve no time for dyin’
Living dead! Living dead! Living

[GRETCHEN]                           [CITIZENS]
Dead, dead, dead, dead
It’s the day,                             Dead, dead, dead, dead
It’s the night,                           Dead, dead, dead, dead
It’s the dawn                           Dead, dead, dead, dead
Of the

[ALL] Dead!
