Now come, come all to this tragic affair
Wipe off that makeup, what's in is despair
So throw on the black dress, mix in with the lot
You might wake up and notice you're someone you're not
If you look in the mirror, and don't like what you see
You can find out first hand what it's like to be me
So gather 'round piggies, and kiss this goodbye
I encourage your smiles, I expect you won't cry!
Another contusion, my funeral jag
Here's my resignation, I'll serve it in drag
You've got front row seats to the penitence ball
When I grow up, I want to be nothing at all!
I said hey, hey yeah
I said hey, hey yeah
Come on, come on, come on,
I said
Save me (Get me the hell out of here!)
Save me (Too young to die, and my dear!)
You can't (If you can hear me, just)
Take me! (Walk away, yeah!)
Yeah!
And if your heart stops beating, I'll be here wondering
Did you get what you deserve? The ending of your life
And if you get to heaven, I'll be here waiting, babe
Did you get what you deserve?
The end, and if your life won't wait
Then your heart can't take this
Have you heard the news that you're dead?
No one ever had much nice to say
I think they never liked you anyway
Oh, take me from the hospital bed
Wouldn't it be grand? It ain't exactly what you planned
And wouldn't it be great if we were dead?
Oh, dead!
Tongue-tied and oh, so squeamish, you never fell in love
Did you get what you deserve? The ending of your life
And if you get to heaven, I'll be here waiting, babe
Did you get what you deserve?
The end, and if your life won't wait
Then your heart can't take this
Have you heard the news that you're dead?
No one ever had much nice to say
I think they never liked you anyway
Oh, take me from the hospital bed
Wouldn't it be grand to take a pistol by the hand?
And wouldn't it be great if we were dead?
And in my honest observation, during this operation
Found a complication in your heart, so long
'Cause now you've got maybe just two weeks to live
Is that the most the both of you can give?
One, two, one, two, three, four!
La la la la la, la la la la la la
La la la la la la la, well, come on!
La la la la la, la la la la la la
La la la la la la la, oh, motherfucker!
(La la la la la, la la la la la la, la la la la la la la)
If life ain't just a joke, then why are we laughing?
(La la la la la, la la la la la la, la la la la la la la)
If life ain't just a joke, then why are we laughing?
(La la la la la, la la la la la la, la la la la la la la)
If life ain't just a joke, then why are we laughing?
(La, la, la, la, la, la, la!)
If life ain't just a joke, then why am I dead?
Dead!
