Lordi - The Riff Lyrics
I met Mr. Death this morningHe offered me a rideI said I think I'm not quite ready yetTo travel by your sidePractice what you preachThen said the count of shadowlandsIt doesn't hurt to take a peekHe grinned and grabbed my handI sad in the leather seat of his Chevy vanThe motor screamed like a pack of ratsIn a frying panThe headlights where shooting sparksAnd the tyres spinning flamesWell, allrighty thenHe said and opened up his caseThe grim reaper played guitarHis bony fingers cold and stiffThe sonic thunder froze my heartAs he cranked out the riffOh yeah, the riffThen his song was overAnd he asked me not to lieI felt a bit uneasyBut I dare to criticizeI told him, Man, the riff is a killerBut the rest is a throw-awayHis face looked disappointedBut he said Ah, it's okI asked him, has he shownThe devil what he's gotHe's written hitsBut lately he has notSo the devil's out of touchAnd he cannot smell a hitCuz he has lost his mindWith all that hip-hop shitThe grim reaper played guitarHis bony fingers cold and stiffThe sonic thunder froze my heartAs he cranked out the riffOh yeah, the riffI woke up and the van was upside downMy body bleedsWe must have crashed right off the roadAnd Death could varely speakHe said, Listen you'd gottas take my placeI'm leaving office soonI said, I'm sorry dude, I'm kinda busy.But tell you what: I'll take the tuneAnd it goes like this...The grim reaper played guitarHis bony fingers cold and stiffThe sonic thunder froze my heartAs he cranked out the riffThe grim reaper played guitarHis bony fingers cold and stiffThe sonic thunder froze my heartAs he cranked out the riffHe cranked out the riffHe cranked out the riffHe cranked out the riff
