The duo The Black Keys released a new horror-themed song titled “Stay In Your Grave,” featuring the legendary father of shock rock, Alice Cooper, on vocals. An official video was also released, showing band members Dan Auerbach (vocals, guitar) and Patrick Carney (drums), mixed with scenes from the classic 1962 horror movie “Carnival of Souls.” A short video of Alice Cooper in the studio with them was also released with the musician saying: “I should have been in this band”.
The single is a new bonus track of their most recent album “Ohio Players”, released last April.

Lyrics
“Strugglin’ by the roadside tryin’ to hitch a ride
Stumblin’ alone while gettin’ home tonight
When in my eyes, a blinding light
And a voice said: You better get right
Find the cab and the driver said: Won’t you climb inside?
Foot on the gas, hand on the dash, holdin’ tight
He’s dead cold fire, he grinned and said
You might be high, you might be dead
I said: Please, let me stay, ain’t done nothin’ to land in my grave
Then he laughs (Hahaha), I heard him say
You better stay, stay in your grave
Woke up out in the Sun, nothing of new in sight
That evil mad man brought me there so I’d see the light
He spared me from dyin’ when I thought was dead
Yes, I know I kept you living instead
I said: Please, let me stay, ain’t done nothin’ to land in my grave
Then he laughs (Hahaha), I heard him say
You better stay, stay in your grave”
