let's shake it like somebody died
Hey, mama, it's a funeral
Whole green world is a funeral
The whiskey and the ginger is fine
Ice cream man never lied to me
Every beautiful thing is true
I see the black cars in a line
Like a dream of black swans
Drifting by under dim stars
There's no time, there's no time
And I see the sweat on the back of your neck,
let's shake it like somebody died
Hey, mama, it's a funeral
The green world is a funeral
The whiskey acting as wine
Ice cream man never lied to you
Every beautiful thing is true
Raindrops on the car tops,
count them, remember them
Till the sun comes back and
Forget them, forget them, forget them
And the stars too, they were for you
And you loved them, and they loved you
Till the dawn came, cause it had to
Now you're standing there
stuck dumb in the bright blue
let's shake it like somebody died
Home for your world is a funeral
The whiskey and the glitter is fine
The ice cream man never lied to you
Every beautiful thing is true
Let's shake it like somebody died
Whole green world is a funeral
But whiskey and gin is fine
Ice cream man never lied to you
Every beautiful thing is true
