lyrics

KEEP THAT CASKET CLOSED
When I die, whoever’s left,
honor my last request
I’m sure that I won’t look my best,
so keep that casket closed
I wont mind being dead,
being seen is what I dread
Laid out like a moose’s head,
so keep that casket closed

Keep that casket closed boys,
keep that casket closed
Lock the door, shut out the lights,
let me decompose
I’ll see you in the after-life,
keep that casket closed

It may sound vain, it may sound trite,
even dead you got some rights
I was judged enough in life
so keep that casket closed

His hands look old, his hair’s too neat
He looks at peace, doesn’t he?
Well if he looks at peace he don’t look like me
So keep that casket closed

Keep that casket closed boys,
keep that casket closed
Lock the door, shut out the lights,
let me decompose
I’ll see you in the after-life,
keep that casket closed

Please don’t think me morbid,
it’s just a fact of life
Live each day like it’s your last
and one day you’ll be right
Fight for your life
as though your gonna win
Then you lose and when you lose
no need to rub it in

Keep that casket closed boys,
keep that casket closed
Lock the door, shut out the lights,
let me decompose
I’ll see if there's an after-life,
keep that casket closed

If you let me down you’ll pay the price,
I’ll become your poltergeist
I suggest you take my advice
and keep that casket closed

Christopher Brown Mamaroneck, New York

Christopher Brown writes intelligent songs that unravel with the depth and sophistication of 4 minute novellas. He's a seasoned artist taking stock of his life’s journey --victories and defeats, good days and bad -- with offhand insight and humor.
He wins over audiences with an organic stage presence, a honeyed rumble of a voice and an unteachable ability to always sound genuine and in the moment
