They Might Be Giants – Dead lyrics
I returned a bag of groceries
Accidently taken off the shelf
Before the expiration date
I came back as a bag of groceries
Accidently taken off the shelf
Before the date stamped on myself

Did a large procession wave their (did a)
Torches as my head fell in the basket, (large pro-)
And was everybody dancing on the casket? (cession dance? )

Now it's over Im dead and I haven't done anything that I want (now it's over)
Or, Im still alive and there's nothing I want to do

I will never say the word
Procrastinate again; I'll never
See myself in the mirror with my eyes closed
I didn't apologize for
When I was eight and I made my younger brother
Have to be my personal slave

Did a large procession wave their (did a)
Torches as my head fell in the basket, (large pro-)
And was everybody dancing on the casket? (cession dance? )

Now it's over Im dead and I haven't done anything that I want (now it's over)
Or, Im still alive and there's nothing I want to do

(so) so I wont
(sit) sit at home
(and) anymore
(and) and you wont
(and) see my head in
(and) the window
(and) and I wont
(and) be around
(and) ever anymore
(and) and I'll be up there on the wall at the store

I returned a bag of groceries
Accidently taken off the shelf
Before the expiration date
I came back as a bag of groceries
Accidently taken off the shelf
Before the date stamped on myself

Did a large procession wave their (did a)
Torches as my head fell in the basket, (large pro-)
And was everybody dancing on the casket? (cession dance? )

Now it's over Im dead and I haven't done anything that I want (now it's over)
Or, Im still alive and there's nothing I want to do

Now it's over Im dead and I haven't done anything that I want (now it's over)
Or, Im still alive and there's nothing I want to do
