Dead Man's Party
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I'm all dressed up with nowhere to go
Walkin' with a dead man over my shoulder
I'm all dressed up with nowhere to go
Walkin' with a dead man over my shoulder
Waitin' for an invitation to arrive
Goin' to a party where no one's still alive
Waitin' for an invitation to arrive
Goin' to a party where no one's still alive
I was struck by lighting
Walkin' down the street
I was hit by somethin' last night in my sleep
It's a dead man's party
Who could ask for more?
Everybody's comin' leave your body at the door
Leave your body and soul at the door
Don't run away, it's only me
Only me
I'm all dressed up with nowhere to go
Walkin' with a dead man, with a dead man
Waitin' for an invitation to arrive
Walkin' with a dead man, with a dead man
I got my best suit and my tie
Shiny silver dollar on either eye
I hear the chauffeur comin' to my door
Says there's room for maybe just one more
I was struck by lighting, walkin' down the street
I was hit by somethin' last night in my sleep
It's a dead man's party, who could ask for more?
Everybody's comin', leave your body at the door
Leave your body and soul at the door
Don't run away, it's only me
Don't be afraid of what you can't see
Don't run away, it's only me
Don't be afraid of what you can't see
It's only me
I was struck by lighting
Walkin' down the street
I was hit by somethin' last night in my sleep
It's a dead man's party?
Who could ask for more?
Everybody's comin' leave your body at the door
Leave your body and soul at the door
Don't run away, it's only me
Don't be afraid of what you can't see
Don't run away, it's only me
Don't be afraid of what you can't see
It's only me
Don't run away, it's only me
Don't be afraid of what you can't see
Don't run away, it's only me
Don't be afraid of what you can't see
It's only me It's only me
It's only me It's only me
Only me
It's only me It's only me
