Marilyn Manson – DON'T CHASE THE DEAD Lyrics | Genius Lyrics

DON’T CHASE THE DEAD Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Angels in exile
Here lies the dead
An ice cream truck in your inferno

[Pre-Chorus]
Don't chase the dead
Or they'll end up chasing you
Don't chase the dead
Or they'll end up chasing you

[Chorus]
If tonight lasts forever
It won't matter if there's no tomorrow
If tonight lasts forever
It won't matter if there's no tomorrow
No tomorrow

[Verse 2]
I got my tickets to Hell
I know you so well
And I know you wanna be there too

[Chorus]
If tonight lasts forever
It won't matter if there's no tomorrow
If tonight lasts forever
It won't matter if there's no tomorrow
No tomorrow
[Pre-Chorus]
Don't chase the dead
Or they'll end up chasing you
Don't chase the dead
Or they'll end up chasing you
Don't chase the dead
Or they'll end up chasing you

[Chorus]
If tonight lasts forever
It won't matter if there's no tomorrow
If tonight lasts forever
It won't matter if there's no tomorrow

[Outro]
Don't chase the dead
Or they'll end up chasing you
Don't chase the dead
Or they'll end up chasing you

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

What did Marilyn Manson say about "DON'T CHASE THE DEAD"?
Genius Answer

Manson told Consequence Of Sound:

It’s a very driving song, but when it opens up in the chorus, it has very Berlin-era [David] Bowie elements. It sort of has this postulating feeling of unease but romance at the same time. It sounds like the end of the world, in a way. That really was what I was trying to capture.
