(Verse 2)
Hang out in funeral homes and make an honest bid
Lay in your casket, let them close the lid
Abra cadaver roll your eyes back in your head
Practice being dead

(Verse 3)
Try painting tunnels on the ceiling in your room
Imagine your birth backwards with a bigger, better womb
Take little trips out of your body now and then 
And if the rapture comes maybe you'll ascend

You know the saying, "once you learn to ride a bike..."
Well, that's what dying's like

(refrain)

(Verse 4)
Get high on ether when there's no one in the house
Pretend it's the big one at the moment you pass out
It's just rehearsal, but that's all that life allows
But you practice dying
Cause you're almost dead
Practice dying now


Transcriber Notes:

I tabbed this out using the 16 Nudes version of Practice Dying. Listen to the song
to get the feel for the rhythm. The chorus is a little tricky and I think the
chords are correct. If not, post an update. ;) Peace, Del.
