How To Survive A Funeral

Through a combination of alcohol

And the chemicals you'd consumed

Laid a broken path before a stoic man

The stars became your roof

So be proud, be proud

This is your big debut, kid

So be proud, be proud

You've got a crowd to see you through this

Set the stage

Displayed,you laid there, cold

Then came the eulogies

I thought you'd like to know

So just know, you barely knew us

You were out of touch, out of touch for so long

You filled the room up

And none of us knew we cared 'til you're gone

Be proud, be proud

This is your big debut, kid

So be proud, be proud

(We got a crowd to see you through this)

They found you face down on the floor

You were somebody else the night before

Another slip up, another fall

You'd be searching your soul for something more

****

Another slip up, another fall

You'd be searching your soul for something more

You barely knew us

You were out of touch, out of touch for so long

You filled the room up

And none of us knew we cared 'til you're gone

The funeral was in full bloom

You always knew how to fill a room

The funeral was in full bloom

To send you home

And while the crowd remained composed

They put a trophy on your stone

I guess you found a place to rest those bones

And while the crowd remained composed

They put a crown upon your throne

I guess you found a place to rest those bones

You barely knew us

You were out of touch, out of touch for so long

You filled the room up

And none of us knew we cared 'til you're gone

And everyone came in colours

And everyone came in colours
