MC Lars - Annabel Lee R.I.P. (2012) Lyrics
We got EAP in the house tonight,
Edgar Allan Poe, America's most romantic love poet.
We're taking this back, way back, 1849 style. Hip-Hop? Nah, this is Lit-Hop!
It was many and many a year ago, in a kingdom by the sea,
By the name of Annabel Lea
And this maiden she lived with no other thought
Than to love and be loved by me.
But the angels got jealous and they took my queen
Now she's gone and I can barely sleep (but her)
Mortality, makes her hot, up in the malt shop, our favorite spot
I got so lost in her bright green eyes,
So tell me why the love of my life had to die?
So who's that (who's that) rappin', at my door?
Annabel Lee, RIP like Lenore
Red lips, sick kiss and I'm lonely now
It was tuberculosis, necrosis, I can't focus and I hope this
Pain goes away cause all I see is her photo on the wall,
Smell her perfume on the sheets,
We were so in love, even when she's gone
I'll be up in the graveyard singing her songs
Like cemetery woman, my cemetery girl
Cemetery lady, I want you in my world.
[CHORUS]
Annabel Lee R.I.P.
I was a child and she was a child,
In this kingdom by the sea;
But we loved with a love that was more than love see
I and my Annabel Lee;
With a love that the winged seraphs of heaven coveted her and me.
She was gone by dawn should have known all along
That we were never meant to be
Sadly, I gave her my heart, she gave me her flower
Like Romeo and Juliet humping in the tower
Every single day every single hour
Rumpy in the bedroom, pumpy in the shower
So now I pack a shovel and I dig real deep
Take a crescent wrench, rip out all her teeth
Put 'em in a box, so she'll always be
Here with me, let's see probably need some therapy
The highborn kinsman stole her from me
Chilling and killing my Annabel Lee
That's death, I guess, there's nothing I can do
Like Ronnie and Sammie our relationship is through
Now every single night, I lie down by the side
Of my darling, my darling, my life and my bride,
My wife and my pride now all I have left
Is poetry, memories, sorrow and stress.
[REPEAT CHORUS]
For the moon never beams without bringing me dreams
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;
And the stars never rise but I feel the bright eyes
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;
And neither the angels in heaven above,
Nor the demons down under the sea,
Can ever dissever my soul from the soul
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee.
But our love it was stronger by far than the love
Of those who were older than we-
They said we were kids but I love what is
We were happy and young and so free
And so every night, I lie down by the side
Of my darling, my darling, my life and my bride,
That's where she will always be
In her tomb by the sounding sea.

Manly tears
the melody under the chorus sounds suspiciously similar to "slices of you" by electric six
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J36e7BDlNV0
I don't like this version at all. It breaks the flow completely.
TheBrazilRules This was actually the original.
OMG !!! I was looking for this song I'm glad I found it again 😍😍 it reminds me of a lot of memories ❤️❤️
Much love!!
MC Lars ❤️❤️
FREAKING FIRE!
Thank you!!
i'm here for this
Here in 2018, still loving MC Lars' music. Ps. Laptop EP should really be on iTunes dude!
Thanks! Is it not?
My bad, It's downloading. I just remember wanting Stat-60 on my iPhone and not being able to find it when I mass downloaded your back catalogue. :) Thanks for the reply Lars, whipping my butt into shape. :/
Nice ICP reference. " Cemetery lady, my cemetery girl, cemetery baby, I want you in my world."
this is one of the reasons why I absolutely love Mc lars
Thank you. :)
:33 < that face scared me!
What a fucking work.
Tegan and Sara just got so much cooler. And I love t+s.
I love this song! :-D
I've been on YouTube too long cuz I somehow went from attack on titan vines to reaction videos to this I'm like wtf
Annabel Lee - Live

Where can i find this version? on Itunes and Amazon they only seem to have the other version.
+69eyes2191 Hey there! You can find the full version here, it has a Tegan and Sara sample, so we couldn't put it on iTunes. https://mclars.bandcamp.com/track/annabel-lee-r-i-p
+MC Lars awesome, thanks man. Keep making great music.
Thank you!!
I love someone who can make a whole Edgar Allen Poe album
Who wrote this beat? It's amazing.
+Ang La Bux K.Flay!
this should have way more views
I love this song soooo much, definitely one of my favourite
Only Lars could receive praise for making a song about necrophilia. Anyone else would be legally required to inform their neighbors that they've been put on a registry list.
@cotss2012 That is Edgar Allen Poe for you....
+cotss2012 A7X did A little piece of heaven
icp did "cemetary lady" which lars actually quotes in this song
That ICP reference tho
@Ponyboy Gat WHOOP WHOOP :)
I've never heard it what does he say?
Why didn't he make a music video for his other Edgar Allan Poe songs?
On it!!
this doesn't have enough likes.
Who is the girl singing?
its Tegan and Sara, i believe.
Dam Lars and Poe. That was deep.
I love this song but it's apparently rendered me incapable of reading this poem without thinking about it :p Not that that's a bad thing
Mc lars + Poe + Tegan and Sara = perfection
So nice song!
Even though i'm listening to this song, while doing other things, I still put it in 720p, this song deserves it!!
Absolutely brilliant
This song is straight up brilllant...the hook is so catchy.
Yeah and if you pause @1:00 you will see his accreditation to them. :P
It is a Canadian sister duo, Tegan and Sara.<3 They're flawless.
the beat/music to this song was taken from a song called "Walking with a Ghost" by Tegan and Sara. Sara is the female vocalist. look it up, the original song is great. and Lars made it 10 times better :)
anyone know who is doing the female vocal?
Tegan & Sara!
Started listening to Lars 4 days ago. I have listened to over 40 hours of his music by now :D I think I might have a problem
LOVE it!!!
You do what so few can easily do, you present classic lit anew.
.
bah, I am done rhyming. Thank you Lars for making this stuff accessible to so many more people.
Lars you should go to Universal Studios in Florida this year they have a Edgar Allen Poe scare house :)
@kgonepostl
Still awesome though.
MC lars needs to work on his flow.
Wonderful Song and awesome video.
it should be famous all over the worlds and number 1 in the charts
Andrew, i love you. <3 :)
made me read the original poem again...
@AlcestemoliereS the chorus is sampled from another song, i believe he mentioned it was tegan and sara, but i might be wrong
Who is the high pitched voice and the whos that echo? vocal effects or someone featured?
Tegan & Sara sample.
awesome art (who did it?)
always love this song....
now get on that Lord of the Fries vid!!! ;-P
Love the song and the video fits it perfectly. Nice job.
The first time I heard this I thought my phone was fucking up and play the raven and walking with a ghost at the same time
One of my favourite songs :D
Glad you made a video for this song =D
Awesome video, awesome song. Nuff said! :D
good stuff right here
