Dead Man’s Party Lyrics

[Intro]
Yeah, yeah, let 'em in

[Verse 1]
I'm all dressed up with nowhere to go
Walkin' with a dead man over my shoulder
I'm all dressed up with nowhere to go
Walkin' with a dead man over my shoulder

[Verse 2]
Waitin' for an invitation to arrive
Goin' to a party where no one's still alive
Waitin' for an invitation to arrive
Goin' to a party where no one's still alive

[Chorus]
I was struck by lightning, walkin' down the street
I was hit by somethin' last night in my sleep
It's a dead man's party, who could ask for more?
Everybody's comin', leave your body at the door
Leave your body and soul at the door

[Post-Chorus]
Don't run away, it's only me
Only me

[Verse 3]
I'm all dressed up with nowhere to go
Walkin' with a dead man, with a dead man
Waitin' for an invitation to arrive
Walkin' with a dead man, with a dead man

[Verse 4]
I got my best suit and my tie
Shiny silver dollar on either eye
I hear the chauffeur comin' to my door
Says there's room for maybe just one more

[Chorus]
I was struck by lightning, walkin' down the street
I was hit by somethin' last night in my sleep
It's a dead man's party, who could ask for more?
Everybody's comin', leave your body at the door
Leave your body and soul at the door

[Post-Chorus]
Don't run away, it's only me
Don't be afraid of what you can't see
Don't run away, it's only me
Don't be afraid of what you can't see
(It's only me)

[Instrumental]

[Chorus]
I was struck by lightning, walkin' down the street
I was hit by somethin' last night in my sleep
It's a dead man's party, who could ask for more?
Everybody's comin', leave your body at the door
Leave your body and soul at the door

[Post-Chorus]
Don't run away, it's only me
Don't be afraid of what you can't see
Don't run away, it's only me
Don't be afraid of what you can't see

[Outro]
It's only me
It's only me
Only me
It's only me
It's only me
Only me
It's only me
It's only me
Only me
Ow!
