A Thorn for Every Heart - dead man's party

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

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

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

I got my best suit and my tie
Shiny silver dollar on either eye
I hear the chauffeur 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

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

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
