How To Survive A Funeral

Through a combination of alcohol
And the chemicals you'd consumed
Laid a broken path before a stoic man
The stars became your roof

So be proud, be proud
This is your big debut, kid
So be proud, be proud
We got a crowd to see you through this

Set the stage
Displayed you laid there cold
Then came the eulogies
I thought you'd like to know
(So just know)

You barely knew us
You were out of touch
Out of touch for so long
You filled the room up
And none of us
Knew we cared 'til you're gone

Be proud, be proud
This is your big debut, kid
So be proud, be proud
We got a crowd to see you through this

They found you face down on the floor
You were somebody else the night before
Another slip up, another fall
You'd be searching your soul for something more
Fuck!
Another slip up, another fall
You'd be searching your soul for something more

You barely knew us
You were out of touch
Out of touch for so long
You filled the room up
And none of us
Knew we cared 'til you're gone

The funeral was in full bloom
You always knew how to fill a room
The funeral was in full bloom
To send you home

And while the crowd remained composed
They put a trophy on your stone
I guess you found a place to rest those bones

And while the crowd remained composed
They put your crown upon your throne
I guess you found a place to rest those bones

You barely knew us
You were out of touch
Out of touch for so long
You filled the room up
And none of us
Knew we cared 'til you're gone

Gone
Everyone came in colours
