They Thought I Was Gonna Have a Short Life


This is another song where I took a sample from that movie I'm makin' and made it into a song using the melody that the person talking's voice forms. Yes. The title pretty much conveys what the song's about.

Here are the lyrics cuz the speeeeedy nature of the rap (and the consequent slurring of some words, ugh).



They thought I was gonna have a short life
Ghosts inside my living room are playing
Pac-Man and then this thing they start sayin'
Gives me the creeps. They said that I would 
Not live long. What's wrong with me? My goodness
The Ghost of All Things in the Past
Said, "Yer toast." Oh, no! I can see that's 
Something that will give me anxiety
Mind's freaked - I don't like it
The Ghost of Future Happenings
Told me something that is saddening
He boldly told me, "You will be deader
Than a door nail. You won't get better
Cuz You'll Be dead. And then I saw
The Ghost of All Things Present, oh my God
He said I'd kick the bucket and then he 
Disappeared. Shit. What he said sent me
Down a big spiral. My world is getting
Stupid and confusing. Is the sun setting
On my life? I don't know how to 
Take this news. I guess I'll say, "Wow, dude."
They thought I was gonna have a short life
Will I see more Christmases?
What they said would happen is the pits
Will I see more birthdays now? 
What the spirits said makes me say, "Wow."
Will I die of some disease?
I hope that this passing is easy
But I guess I cannot choose
How I die, so I'll drink some booze
They thought I was gonna have a short life
