Beetlejuice: The Demos The Demos The Demos
[OTHO]
My first cult it was crazy
Started in the 1980s
Just a bunch of local ladies and moi
We took acid every day
We had, like, sixty-seven babies
Yeah, and all of them conceived in the spa

[OTHO AND ENSEMBLE]
To start a new religion
It takes a million small decisions

[ENSEMBLE]
Who's gonna do the grocery run?
Who's gonna strip and clean the guns?
Who's gonna purchase all the beds?
Who's gonna look out for the feds?

[OTHO (ENSEMBLE)]
I had an ever-growing hunger (Hunger)
I wanted something bigger than that bunker (Bunker)

So I gathered up my handmaids
Made them drink thе kool-aid
Left their bodies rotting in a vault
'Causе I
I can not die
Oh, I survived
You wanna know why?

'Cause I am very good at running cults
Uh
I like to prey on vulnerable adults
Uh

[ENSEMBLE]
He is very good at running cults!

[OTHO (ENSEMBLE)]
I am a charismatic man
I got salvation in my pants (ooh-ooh)
I got a lot of crazy answers
I get good results

[ENSEMBLE]
He's really good at running cults
He's very good at running cults
Yeah he's good at it
He's good at it

[OTHO]
I am very good at running cults

[ENSEMBLE]
He's got a masterplan
Also a mini-van
Nightly we rock out to Steely Dan

[OTHO]
Watch the films of Eric Stoltz

[ENSEMBLE]
He's really good at running cults
He's very good at running cults
Yeah, he's killing it
He's killing it

[OTHO]
I've had many cults since then
But every one came to an end
Each time I'd kill them, start again, just move on
There were stabbings, executions
Saran gas, electrocutions
Yeah, I did it all dressed in a sarong

[ENSEMBLE]
He was feelin' kind of empty

[OTHO]
I banged a million chicks but where'd that get me?

[ENSEMBLE]
He was distracted and depressed

[OTHO]
I tried it all but what was left

[ENSEMBLE]
He couldn't get the continent

[OTHO]
I was a god but yet I failed

[ENSEMBLE]
He was deep in necrophilia

[OTHO]
Livin' in a tent when I met Delia
With her support I moved to Cali'
Worked in Silicon Valley
Started up a start-up in a loft
Now I, I'll never die
I'll live eternal on a server in the sky

'Cause look, I made a box, baby
Copy your consciousness across, baby
And live forever in a box, baby, baby, baby, a box
Uh

Your Chinese kiddies in sweatshops baby
I got 'em workin' 'round the clock baby
They're manufacturing my box baby, baby, baby

[ENSEMBLE]
We are gonna all live forever

[OTHO SPOKEN]
Just like a tree or children's yoghurt

[ENSEMBLE]
Living in a box

[OTHO]
Box!

[ENSEMBLE]
Stack up all the bo-

[OTHO]
Box!

[ENSEMBLE]
-xes together

[OTHO]
Down to my store in California stacked in the corner

[ENSEMBLE]
Exploring space and time at our leisure

[OTHO]
No one can tame us, floating past Mars and Uranus

[ENSEMBLE]
Living in a box

[OTHO]
Box!

[ENSEMBLE]
A patent-pending box

[OTHO]
Box!

[ENSEMBLE]
For forever
For forever

[OTHO]
I'll meet you at the bar
Champagne and caviar
You can have sex with my avatar mind as fast as you say "volt"

[ENSEMBLE]
He's really good at running cults
He's very good at running cults
Yeah, he's good at it
He's good at it
He is good at running cults

[OTHO]
Internal life in peace

[ENSEMBLE]
Cults

[OTHO]
No pain and no disease

[ENSEMBLE]
Cults

[OTHO]
It's always eighty degrees
You just need a sweet one-twenty volts

[ENSEMBLE (OTHO)]
He's really good at running cults
He's very (Box!) good at running cults
Yeah, he's (Box!) killing it
He's killing it

[OTHO]
Box
