[00:20.200] I met Mr. Death this morning
[00:22.470] He offered me a ride.
[00:25.160] I said I think I'm not quite ready yet
[00:28.500] To travel by your side.
[00:31.310] "Practice what you preach"
[00:33.208] Then said the count of shadowlands
[00:37.197] "It doesn't hurt to take a peek"
[00:39.657] He grinned and grabbed my hand.
[00:43.679] I sat in the leather seat
[00:45.697] Of his Chevy van
[00:48.427] The motor screamed like a pack of rats
[00:50.637] In a frying pan.
[00:54.580] The headlights were shooting sparks
[00:55.547] And the tyres spinning flames
[00:58.457] "Well alrighty then"
[01:01.277] He said and opened up his case
[01:04.177] The grim reaper played guitar
[01:07.279] His bony fingers cold and stiff
[01:09.898] The sonic thunder froze my heart
[01:12.637] As he cranked out the Riff.
[01:15.898]
[01:16.658] Oh, yeah, the Riff!
[01:18.618]
[01:21.398] Then his song was over
[01:22.999] And he asked me not to lie
[01:26.208] I felt a bit uneasy
[01:28.557] But I dared to criticize
[01:32.879] I told him, "Man, the riff is a killer
[01:34.607] But the rest is a throw-away"
[01:38.879] His face looked disappointed
[01:40.297] But he said, "Ah, it's ok"
[01:43.676] I asked him, has he shown
[01:46.338] The devil what he's got
[01:49.148] "He's written hits
[01:50.648] But lately he has not"
[01:53.517] So the devil's out of touch
[01:56.148] And he cannot smell a hit
[01:59.879] "Cuz he has lost his mind
[02:02.499] With all that hip-hop shit"
[02:05.389] The grim reaper played guitar
[02:07.657] His bony fingers cold and stiff
[02:10.570] The sonic thunder froze my heart
[02:13.450] As he cranked out the Riff.
[02:16.220]
[02:17.60] Oh, yeah, the Riff!
[02:19.410]
[02:21.799] I woke up and the van was upside down
[02:24.370] My body bleeds
[02:27.0] We must have crashed right off the road
[02:29.339] And Death could barely speak.
[02:32.310] He said, "Listen you gotta take my place
[02:35.480] I'm leaving office soon"
[02:38.149] I said, "I'm sorry dude, I'm kinda busy
[02:40.450] But tell you what: I'll take the tune"
[02:43.529] And it goes like this...
[02:45.899]
[03:10.60] The grim reaper played guitar
[03:13.500] His bony fingers cold and stiff
[03:15.530] The sonic thunder froze my heart
[03:18.670] As he cranked out the Riff.
[03:21.690] The grim reaper played guitar
[03:24.200] His bony fingers cold and stiff
[03:27.49] The sonic thunder froze my heart
[03:30.209] As he cranked out the Riff.
[03:33.200]
[03:34.100] He cranked out the Riff.
[03:36.480] He cranked out the Riff.
[03:39.290] He cranked out the Riff.
[03:42.269] He cranked out the...
[03:44.200]
[03:45.200]
[03:46.470]
