Requiem

Hatches matches then dispatches

All in the embers of my ashes

Thy will was done

Oh wipe that worry from your face

You'll die when you see my new place but

Do the time

You're in for life

[Chorus:]

Oh my friends I hear you sing

The lord's my shepherd really what a song to sing

Why bring me flowers

When you know that I can't smell a thing

For the folks I leave behind

I'm in heaven well imagine my surprise

I'm really flattered that you came here to remember

And look I made the news again

In Requiem, with all my friends

There is no shame here, I feel no loss

The pawn and king both in the same box

And no one famous

Please don't panic

It looks so tragic

All switching seats on the Titanic

I'm sad to go

Hope you enjoy the show

[Chorus:]

Oh my friends I hear you say

A lot of lovely things about me here today

I'm glad you didn't let the truth get in the way

To all my friends I leave behind

They put a spread on so let's all go back to mine

I really love it that you came here to remember

And look we made the news at ten

In Requiem with all my friends

This dyin' ain't much of a living no no

Will we want what we're given heaven knows

[Chorus:]

Oh my friends I hear you sing

The lord's my shepherd really what a song to sing

Why bring me flowers when you

Know that I can't smell a thing

For the folks I leave behind

I'm in heaven well imagine my surprise

I'm really flattered that you came here to remember

And look I made the news again

In Requiem with all my friends

With all my friends

Requiem
