Hey! Give me a listen you corpses of cheer Leastles of you who still got an ear I'll tell you a story make a skeleton cry Of our own jubiliciously lovely corpse bride
Die, die we all pass away But don't wear a frown cuz it's really okay And you might try 'n' hide And you might try 'n' pray But we all end up the remains of the day Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah Yeah yeah yeah
Well our girl is a beauty known for miles around When a mysterious stranger came into town He's plenty good lookin', but down on his cash And our poor little baby, she fell hard and fast When her daddy said no, she just couldn't cope So our lovers came up with a plan to elope
Die, die we all pass away But don't wear a frown cuz it's really okay And you might try 'n' hide And you might try 'n' pray But we all end up the remains of the day Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah Yeah yeah yeah (instrumental)
So they conjured up a plan to meet late at night They told not a soul, kept the whole thing tight Now her mother's wedding dress fit like a glove You don't need much when you're really in love Except for a few things, or so I'm told Like the family jewls and a sachel of gold Then next to the grave yard by the old oak tree On a dark foggy night at a quarter to three She was ready to go, but where was he
And then?
She waited
And then?
There in the shadows, was it the man?
And then?
Het little heart beat so loud
And then?
And then baby, everything went black
Now when she opened her eyes she was dead as dust Her jewls were missin' and her heart was bust So she made a vow lyin' under that tree That she'd wait for her true love to come set her free Always waiting for someone to ask for her hand When out of the blue comes this groovy young man Who vows forever to be by her side And that's the story of our own corpse brideTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
