lyrics

Your cadaver’s looking great old friend
much the way that I remember you
You didn’t live fast, you didn’t die young
But you’re leaving in a good looking suit

The omniscient narrator records
the congregation indifferently sits
though well attended your service lacks grief
merely a showreel of your greatest hits

And let’s pretend I have one last cigarette
That can call you back
from the absolute perspective of death
and talk as if we were still friends
go over the ‘remember when?’s
Your cadaver looks great but I’ll dance at your wake tonight

And it didn’t have to be this way
insert image of swingsets and slides
and it’s not because you sold me out
I never thought myself something to buy
But did £££ and ker-chings block out
the inconvenience of the sensory plain?
Though karma may yet be bought off
by stealing from the church collection plate

And let’s pretend I have been called to attest
Should you ascend on high or be cast down into the depths?
I’ll vouch always for who you once were
but never for what you became
Your cadaver looks great but I’ll dance at your wake tonight
