Pet Sematary Lyrics
Ancient goblins, and warlords,
Come out the ground, not making a sound,
The smell of death is all around,
And the night when the cold wind blows
No one cares, nobody knows.
I don't want to live my life again,
I don't want to be buried in a Pet Sematary
I don't want to live my life again.
This ain't a dream, I can't escape
Molars and fangs, the clicking of bones,
Spirits moaning among the tombstones,
And the night, when the moon is bright,
Someone cries, something ain't right.
I don't want to live my life again,
I don't want to be buried in a Pet sematary
I don't want to live my life again.
All of the sudden I feel a chain,
Victor is grinning, flesh rotting away,
Skeletons dance, I curse this day,
And the night when the wolves cry out,
Listen close and you can hear me shout.
I don't want to live my life again,
I don't want to be buried in a Pet Sematary
I don't want to live my life again, oh, no, oh, no
I don't want to live my life again, oh, no, oh, oh
I don't want to live my life again, oh, no, no, no
I don't want to live my life again, oh, oh

Oh, and the Rammstein version is hillarious. "I don't wanna be barweed! In zee pet Zematarrrry!"
Hehe. Yeah. Christian sounds drunk.

I'm surprised no one mentioned it yet but Stephen King was friends with Joey Ramone (I believe it was Joey if I remember correctly). King actually wrote a whole story about him and Joey going to a French Restaurant in the liner notes of the Ramones tribute CD.

The song was directly commissioned by King for the film.

this songs pretty sweet and suprised so little people have written anyway there are alot of ramones refrences in that book because stephen king is supposodly a huge ramones fan. the book was awesome and so is the song

A karaoke favorite of mine. Love this song.
Pretty straight forward stuff here - wasn't looking for insight, just felt like checkin' out the comments.
I don't know this for a fact - but i'm imagining if King commissioned them to write the song, he probably did it before they filming began. Meaning they probably wrote and recorded the song before the movie was finished and hence used the book to based the lyrics around. It's cooler that way anyway - but that makes some kinda sense i think. No?
I don't know if that's the case, but there are clear allusions to the ramones in the book, especifically Blitzkrieg Bop, the chorus became a madnes mantra for Louis, every time he was having second toughts he'd hear inside his head "Hey, Ho, Let's go!" and would go on with the crazy.

this song is the best, next to Gabba Gabba Hey

I love this song. As Daisuke said, it was written for the film. It is also the first song I learned to play. Yay me!

Awesome song, awesome film.

What? Where is Take it as it comes? If its not here then what is wrong with the world. That song rules all!

this like every other ramones song is best live, but i liked it better before i learned the lyrics
i thot it said "i speant a day inside of hell"
when it said" the smell of death is all around"
