Artist: They Might Be Giants
Song: Dead (Track #5/19)
Album: Flood ('1990)
Verse 1:
E A B E A B
I returned a bag of groceries accidently taken off the
E A B E
shelf before the expiration date
E A B E A B
I came back as a bag of groceries accident-ly taken off the
E A B E E7
shelf before the date stamped on myself
Chorus:
A F#m
did a large procession wave their torches as my head fell in the
A F#m B B7
basket and was everybody dancing on the casket
E A B
now it's over I'm dead and I haven't done anything that I want or I'm
E A B E B7
still alive and there's nothing I want to do
Verse 2:
I will never say the word procrastenate again
I'll never see myself in the mirror with my eyes closed
I didn't apologize for when I was eight and I made my
Younger brother have to be my personal slave
Chorus:
did a large procession wave their torches as my head fell in the
Basket? and was everybody dancing on the casket
Now it's over I'm Dead and I haven't done anything that I want or I'm
Still alive and there's nothing I want to do
Bridge:
E A E A
So I won't sit at home anymore and you won't
E A E A
See my head in the win- dow and I won't be around
E A E A B B7
Ever anymore and I'll be up there on the wall at the store
Verse 1:
I returned a bag of groceries accidently taken off the
shelf before the expiration date
I came back as a bag of groceries accident-ly taken off the
shelf before the date stamped on myself
Chorus:
did a large procession wave their torches as my head fell in the
Basket? and was everybody dancing on the casket
Now it's over I'm Dead and I haven't done anything that I want or I'm
Still alive and there's nothing I want to do
Now it's over I'm Dead and I haven't done anything that I want or I'm
Still alive and there's nothing I want to do
