Grim Fandango - Dan Bull

I am Manuel «Manny"Clavera

Come to help manage in the land of the dead

You don’t want to ramble forever

To the land of eternal rest

I’ll help you travel at leisure in luxury

Please be my guest

Just another November the second

Working my bony bum to death

Under the threat of debt collection

Trapped in the back of El Marrow

It’s hell if hell was shallow

This is where the bodies are buried

After the barrow

You come back to life with jack

But ivory wrapping your marrow

Too late to change the fact

You’ve strayed away

From the path that is narrow

Taken your last breath and wasted it

Chasing after that arrow

Straight to the gallows

But your grave doesn’t have to be shallow

Step out the shadows

And gather your underworldly possessions

And then prepare for the day of the dead

Dress for the procession

Death’s in fashion and vogue

People are passionate both

Before and after the boat trip

It doesn’t have to forebode, no

You don’t need to run on foot

Among a pack of savages

Just have a quick look

At our packages of rapid trips

Into the last level

Of the underworld of our souls

Are coveting another thing

Till nothing hurts at all, ow

I am Manuel «Manny"Calavera

Come to help manage in the land of the dead

You dont want to

Ramble forever

To the land of eternal rest

I’ll help you travel at leisure in luxury

Please be my guest

How far will a man go,

To keep dancing this Grim Fandango?

How far will a man go,

Engine engine, number nine

You’ve been here for the hundredth time

Still not got what you’ve come to find

God made the argument from design

Number nine, a number nine

Number nine, a number nine

I’m the superstar of Rubacava

Shrewd and mildly crude calaca

Dude unarmed, my humour’s sharp as new katanas

The truth’s my suit of armour

The new recruit to our group

To find the root of all inscrutable defilement

In this huge environment

Forbidden fruit for Carla

Who pursues me through the art of using subterfuge

I love seducing you through human charm

I can’t delude, I’m petrified

Of putryifying mutant spiders

But there’s nothing I won’t do for glottis

He’s my goofy sidekick

Oh, olivia

How can I forgive you?

Now nah would you hear me out

Wow, I’ve been an idiot

Here’s me thinking you had a bad taste in men

But it was really that you had

A taste for bad men

How far will a man go,

To keep dancing this Grim Fandango?

How far will a man go,

To keep dancing, whoa

I am Manuel «Manny"Calavera

Come to help manage in the land of the dead

You dont want to

Ramble forever

To the land of eternal rest

I’ll help you travel at leisure in luxury
