When I die
I don't want to rest in peace
I want to dance in joy
I want to dance in the graveyards, the graveyards
And while I'm alive
I don't want to be alone
Mourning the ones who came before
I want to dance with them some more
Let's dance in the graveyards

Gloria, like some other name we kept on calling ya
and waiting for change
But I belong to all of your mysteries

And all of us, we're meant for the fire,
but we keep rising up and walking the wires
So when we go below don't lose us in mourning

'Cause when I die
I don't want to rest in peace
I want to dance in joy
I want to dance in the graveyards, the graveyards
And while I'm alive
I don't want to be alone
Mourning the ones who came before
I want to dance with them some more
Let's dance in the graveyards

Oh my love, don't cry when I'm gone
I will lift you up, the air in your lungs
And when you reach for me, we'll dance in the darkness

And we will walk beyond
Our daughters and sons, they will carry on
Like when we were young,
and we will stand beside and breathe in their new life

'Cause when I die
I don't want to rest in peace
I want to dance in joy
I want to dance in the graveyards, the graveyards
And while I'm alive
I don't want to be alone
Mourning the ones who came before
I want to dance with them some more
Let's dance in the graveyards
