Dead Girl! (Shake My Head) Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Friend of mine
Is a black suitcase and a frowny face
Had a life
And now my eyes are glazed 'cause they dug my grave
[Pre-Chorus]
All I wanna do is shake my head
Shake my head, shake my head
But how am I gonna do that with a broken neck?
A broken neck, guess I ain't like them
(Guess I ain't like them)
[Chorus]
I'm just a dead girl, don't live in your world
I just roll my eyes back every time I hear that
Ooh-ooh-ooh, here we go again
Ooh-ooh-ooh, I'm 'bout to lose a friend
I'm just a dead girl (Dead girl), ain't even mad though
I just roll my eyes back every time I hear that
Ooh-ooh-ooh, I'm just a dead girl
Ooh-ooh-ooh, d-d-dead girl
[Verse 2]
Drag my feet
Like a zombie now, do I freak you out? (Ah)
Come at me
You don't hear no sound when you're six feet down, down, down (Oh)
[Pre-Chorus]
All I wanna do is shake my head
Shake my head, shake my head
But how am I gonna do that with a broken neck?
A broken neck, guess I ain't like them
Guess I ain't like them
(Guess I ain't like them)
[Chorus]
I'm just a dead girl, don't live in your world
I just roll my eyes back every time I hear that
Ooh-ooh-ooh, here we go again
Ooh-ooh-ooh, I'm 'bout to lose a friend
I'm just a dead girl (Dead girl), ain't even mad though
I just roll my eyes back every time I hear that
Ooh-ooh-ooh, I'm just a dead girl (Dead girl)
Ooh-ooh-ooh, d-d-dead girl (Dead girl)
[Bridge]
Funny you like me now
Wasn't I just the dead girl?
No, we ain't hanging out
Nuh-uh, nuh-uh, nuh-uh
Funny you like me now
Wasn't I just the dead girl?
No, we ain't hanging out
Nuh-uh, nuh-uh, nuh-uh
[Chorus]
I'm just a dead girl, don't live in your world
I just roll my eyes back every time I hear that
Ooh-ooh-ooh, here we go again
Ooh-ooh-ooh, I'm 'bout to lose a friend
I'm just a dead girl (Dead girl), ain't even mad though
I just roll my eyes back every time I hear that
Ooh-ooh-ooh, I'm just a dead girl (Dead girl)
Ooh-ooh-ooh, d-d-dead girl
[Outro]
All I wanna do is shake my head (Dead girl)
Shake my head (Dead girl), shake my head (Dead girl)
But how am I gonna do that with a broken neck? (Dead girl)
A broken neck (Dead girl), guess I ain't like them

What else have the artists said about the song?
I wrote “Dead Girl!” when I was feeling especially out of place when I came back home. Being away for a while left me feeling disconnected from a lot of people. I think of myself as a pretty introverted, sometimes anxious person – feeling out of place isn’t new. I was so done with judging myself and...
