I'm all dressed up with nowhere to go
Walking with a dead man over my shoulder
I'm all dressed up with nowhere to go
Walking with a dead man over my shoulder

Waiting for an invitation to arrive
Going to a party where no one's still alive
Waiting for an invitation to arrive
Going to a party where no one's still alive

I was struck by lightning
Walking 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 coming 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
Don't run away
It's only me
Don't be afraid of what you can't see

I was struck by lightning walking 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 coming 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
Don't run away
It's only me
Don't be afraid of what you can't see
