9 To 5 At The Morgue Lyrics
Within the pale white walls
From 9 to 5, day after day I feel no more alive
Than the stiff that lies the table before me
Wake up too early to twist the key
Stumble on over to the Mr. Coffee
Pour myself a warm black existence
We’re 9 to 5
Within the pale white walls
From 9 to 5 day after day I feel so cold inside
Like the stiff that lies the table before me
Wake up too early to twist the key
Stumble on over to the Mr. Coffee
Pour myself a warm black existence
9 to 5 at the morgue
Overtime for the corpse
Hypnotized by the hum of the freezer
Hypnotized by the look in your eyes
Hypnotized by the pallid cadaver
Hypnotized by the look in your eyes
9 to 5!
The truth
Is harsher than you think
It’s the hair that fills the sink
Or the wrinkles around your eyes
Until you’re old and hypnotized
9 to 5
9 to 5
Die and die
Die, draw flies
Die and die
Die, draw flies
This day is never going to end for me
The end
Is closer than you think
So pour yourself another drink
And don’t let it get to you
‘Cos that’s exactly what it will do
9 to 5
9 to 5
Die and die
Die, draw flies
Die and die
Die, draw flies
Wake up too early to twist the key
Stumble on over to the Mr. Coffee
Pour myself a warm black existence
9 to 5 at the morgue
Overtime for the corpse
Hypnotized by the hum of the freezer
Hypnotized by the look in your eyes
Hypnotized by the pallid cadaver
Hypnotized by the look in your eyes
Stitch his lips
Shut his eyes
9 to 5 at the morgue
9! To! 5! At! The! Morgue!
From 9 to 5, day after day I feel no more alive
Than the stiff that lies the table before me
Stumble on over to the Mr. Coffee
Pour myself a warm black existence
From 9 to 5 day after day I feel so cold inside
Like the stiff that lies the table before me
Stumble on over to the Mr. Coffee
Pour myself a warm black existence
Overtime for the corpse
Hypnotized by the hum of the freezer
Hypnotized by the look in your eyes
Hypnotized by the pallid cadaver
Hypnotized by the look in your eyes
9 to 5!
Is harsher than you think
It’s the hair that fills the sink
Or the wrinkles around your eyes
Until you’re old and hypnotized
9 to 5
9 to 5
Die and die
Die, draw flies
Die and die
Die, draw flies
This day is never going to end for me
Is closer than you think
So pour yourself another drink
And don’t let it get to you
‘Cos that’s exactly what it will do
9 to 5
9 to 5
Die and die
Die, draw flies
Die and die
Die, draw flies
Stumble on over to the Mr. Coffee
Pour myself a warm black existence
Overtime for the corpse
Hypnotized by the hum of the freezer
Hypnotized by the look in your eyes
Hypnotized by the pallid cadaver
Hypnotized by the look in your eyes
Shut his eyes
9 to 5 at the morgue
9! To! 5! At! The! Morgue!

its about having a normal office job and hatign it. tha morgue thing is a metaphor for how lifeless and morbid it can be
Amen's 'IN Your Suit' is another great anti-work song
yea morticians and coroners rock and so does DFD
i think this song's about screwing a corpse.
"overtime for the corpse....hypnotised by the pallid cadaver...hypnotised by the look in your eyes"
aha, that's what i think.
Agree with the comments regarding the "lifeless" existence many people work on their daily 9-5 careers.
And really by using the morgue and stiff metaphors it emphases the need to "change" (or at least enjoy your life) before you become another body on the table (i.e. dead).
