Funeral Girl

I knew a girl at the funeral

She said she was dead

She always said it would never work out

I was a body at the funeral

She had her hands all over me

She always said we would meet again

At night she whispered at the funeral

Such fright, could thus really be the end?

I always thought I’d be happy

Layin’ in the casket at the funeral

No one would comment at the grave

She really said that she loved me

It’s been a long time since the funeral

I always thought I’d be remembered

She’s laying flowers at the tombstone

Next time you go to a funeral

You may see her at the door

Don’t mention me, she’ll get irate

I love a girl at the funeral

Everyone at my hometown knew about it

They always talk about how it’s funny

They really should do away with funerals

You ain’t really dead, this I swear

They take all your money and they leave you there to rot

I love the funeral girl

Funeral girl I love you with all my heart

Funeral girl I love you from the start

Every time I saw you it was really excellent

Every time we touched, my funeral girl

Funeral girl, I love you from the start

Funeral girl, I love you with all my heart

Funeral girl, may we never be apart

My funeral girl

Funeral girl, I love you from the start

Funeral girl, I really love your art

Nothing ever happens, nothing really matters much to me

Eee oh oh woo oooh

I love that funeral girl
