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 |
