Dead and Lovely |
She was a middle class girl |
She was in over her head |
She thought she could |
stand up in the deep end |
He had a bullet proof smile |
He had money to burn |
She thought she had the moon |
in her pocket |
But now she’s dead |
She’s so dead |
Forever dead and lovely now |
I’ve always been told to remember this: |
Don’t let a fool kiss you |
Never marry for love |
He was hard to impress |
He knew everyone’s secrets |
He wore her on his arm |
Just like jewelry |
He never gave but he got |
He kept her on a leash |
He’s not the kind of wheel |
you fall asleep at But now she’s dead |
Forever dead |
Forever dead and lovely now |
Come closer, look deeper |
You’ve fallen fast |
Just like a plane on a stormy sea |
She made up someone to be She made up somewhere to be from |
This is one business in the |
world where that’s no problem at all |
Everything that is left |
They will only plow under |
Soon every one you know |
will be gone |
And now she’s dead |
Forever dead |
Forever dead and lovely now |
Now she’s dead |
Forever dead |
Forever dead and lovely now |
I’ve always been told to remember this: |
Don’t let a kiss fool you |
Never marry for love |
Everything has its price |
Everything has its place |
What’s more romantic |
then dying in the moonlight? |
Now they’re all watching the sea |
What’s lost can never be broken |
Her roots were sweet |
but they were so shallow |
And now she’s dead |
Forever dead |
Forever dead and lovely now |
And now she’s dead |
