Nice Day... For A Funeral

(Album: Horrorscope - 1991)

Black suits. Eyes closed
Nothing left to hear
One mistake. Blame the youth
Crossed the line of fear
Burn the bridges that we crossed in time
Seemed the only way
Not for nothing was his only crime
A final price to pay

Black days, loss for words
When there's so much left to say
Time's mine, have so much time
Since I went away
Back across the bridges burned
Now you walk alone
The lights are on the doors unlocked
No one is home

I saw the last of sunshine
I'm going back to Mother Earth
A cry of independence
Ends in death

Yeah, the last of sunshine
Oh, ya know, for what it's worth
Nice day for a funeral

One last time to turn your back
Don't kiss me when I go
Don't wonder why it came to this
You didn't want to know
A bastard child and his misspent youth
Yeah, he's yours and mine
We're digging graves, not the buried truth
If only we had the time

Yeah, the last of sunshine
Oh ya know, for what it's worth
Nice day for a funeral
Yeah, the last of sunshine
I'm going back to Mother Earth
A cry of independence
Ends in death
