Funeral Song

from Afterlife Blues by Fast Romantics

/

lyrics

I just got back from your funeral
you were lying on a sheet
with some strange man standing over you
as though he knew you more than me

But you’ve still got that body
and you can dress it up in black
but when I look at you
you don’t look back

When I saw you at the spaceship door
they were calling you aboard
from all the people at your funeral
I couldn’t take you anymore

But you’ve still got that body
and you’ll remind us all of that
but when I look at you
you don’t look back

I would rather give my heart
to the traveling band
I set out to sail the moon
and all that I found was sand
I would rather hold your heart
in my two hands
I set out to sail the moon
and I came back a lonely man

I would rather give my heart
to the traveling band
I set out to sail the moon
and all that I found was sand
I would rather hold your heart
in my two hands
I set out to sail the moon
and I came back so lonely

I just got back from your funeral
you were lying on a sheet
with some strange man standing over you
as though he knew you more than me

But you’ve still got that body
and you’ve reminded me of that
but when I look at you
you don’t look back
when I look at you
you don’t look back
when I look at you
you don’t look back
