"Dead Man's Party"

I'm all dressed up with nowhere to go Walkin' with a dead man over my shoulder

Waiting for an invitation to arrive Goin' to a party where no one's still alive

I was struck by lightning Walkin' down the street I was hit by something last night in my sleep

It's a dead man's party Who could ask for more? Everybody's comin'; leave your body at the door Leave your body and soul at the door...

(Don't run away; it's only me)

All dressed up with nowhere to go Walkin' with a dead man Waitin' for an invitation to arrive Walkin' with a dead man...Dead man...

Got my best suit and my tie Shiny silver dollar on either eye I hear the chauffer comin' to the door Says there's room for maybe just one more...

I was struck by lightning Walkin' down the street I was hit by something last night in my sleep

It's a dead man's party Who could ask for more? Everybody's comin'; leave your body at the door Leave your body and soul at the door...

Don't run away; it's only me Don't be afraid of what you can't see Don't run away; it's only me....
