It's a beautiful day for a funeral
The grave digger's having a smoke
No one's arrived yet
They all got the time wrong
Too early for a burial
And I'm still here in my apartment
I haven't even put on my shoes
They can't start without me
I'll leave when I'm ready
'Cause this funeral's for my youth
Two blocks away in a churchyard
A headstone sits waiting for me
"Here lies a girl who
Never amounted to anything
And here lie her dreams"
Everyone tells me it's better
On the other side of the grave
Whether that's true, well
It doesn't concern me
Just let me cry for today
It's a beautiful day for a funeral
The grave digger's ashin' a smoke
No one's arrived yet
They all got the time wrong
Too early for a burial
