'Buffy The Vampire Slayer' Cast's, "Rest In Peace"
Misheard Lyrics:
Let me rest in peace
Let me get some sleep
Let me take my love and marry him
In a hole six feet deep
I can lay my body down
But I can't find my sweet belly
So let me rest in peace
Why don't you let me rest in peace.
Let me get some sleep
Let me take my love and marry him
In a hole six feet deep
I can lay my body down
But I can't find my sweet belly
So let me rest in peace
Why don't you let me rest in peace.
Original Lyrics:
Let me rest in peace
Let me get some sleep
Let me take my love and bury it
In a hole six feet deep
I can lay my body down
But I can't find my sweet release
So let me rest in peace
Why don't you let me rest in peace.
Let me get some sleep
Let me take my love and bury it
In a hole six feet deep
I can lay my body down
But I can't find my sweet release
So let me rest in peace
Why don't you let me rest in peace.
