I'm 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
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)
All dressed up with nowhere to go
Walkin' with a dead man
Waitin' for an invitation to arrive
Walkin' with a dead man... Dead man...
Got my best suit and my tie
Shiny silver dollar on either eye
I hear the chauffer 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
Don't run away; it's only me...
