Dan Bull - Grim Fandango Lyrics






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,
To keep dancing this Grim Fandango?

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
Please be my guest

How far will a man go,
To keep dancing this Grim Fandango?
How far will a man go,
To keep dancing this Grim Fandango?
How far will a man go,
To keep dancing this Grim Fandango?
How far will a man go,
To keep dancing this Grim Fandango?

    Fable the lost chapters

    I tried playing this game, but this game isn't gonna hold your hands and you have to think where to go next and you could easily get stuck in a section If you don't know where to go.

  92. U.... ....

    Sang by Grim Fandanbull

  93. L.... ....

    Haven't played that game in years - thanks for the rap and hope you had a safe haloween Dan. A rap about Half-Life or Halo would be dope.

  95. K.... L....

    Critical hit bully

  96. D.... B....

    If you want the song without all the talking at the beginning, it's also on Spotify, along with all me other songs. Hundreds of them. Right here! https://open.spotify.com/user/douglby/playlist/7x8UWetW3pfcwDgFEDDru8?si=UeVac6BVR2OLxRSaFxPC5A

    D.... B....

    "Ashes" (the song from the final mission of halo reach) was amazing though

    D.... B....

    @Spartan Sneaky Snake Yeah but Never Forget trumps it

    D.... B....

    Mabey, just mabey😄

    D.... B....

    You could go super old school with early NES games, try your lyrical genius out on Excitebike or something, or maybe Sega with something awesome like Chakan the Forever Man.

    D.... B....

    Dan Bull noooo spoooky cancer
