Dance with the Dead Lyrics

Early this morning I heard the news

Just when I thought I forgot about you

Like a nightmare that lasts for days

Like a shadow burned into clay

Shut the window and lock the door

Cause I gotta collapse on the kitchen floor

It's not sad or even bittersweet

It's just a moment of pure relief

I click my heels and clap my hands

As I become a one man band

I'm not one to eulogize

Dance with the dead, say a glad goodbye

One final trick, one final score

One final long con, set up years before

Turning swamp water into wine

Strike every record of every crime

I'm calling in sick, make it a holiday

Let's turn on some music, let's throw a parade

So pour me a whiskey, I've prepared a toast

To the haunted father, to the hungry ghost

I click my heels and clap my hands

As I become a one man band

I'm not one to eulogize

Dance with the dead, say a glad goodbye

I'm not one to eulogize

Dance with the dead, say a glad goodbye

I'm not one to eulogize

Dance with the dead, say a glad goodbye
