Everybody Loves You When You’re Dead

[Intro: Nikka Costa]
Uh, ah, uh, ah, uh-huh
Uh, ah, uh, ah, uh-huh
Uh, ah, uh, ah, uh-huh
Uh, ah, uh

[Verse 1: Nikka Costa & both]
I came here to entertain
Traded sanity for fame
Gave my life to please you all
You couldn't wait to see me fall (Fall, fall, fall, fall)
If all I did and all I said
And all the songs that fill your head
You just believe the stuff you read
Checkin' for who's in my bed

[Pre-Chorus: both & Nikka Costa]
They can't say a thing about you now (La-la-la-la-la)
Now that you're six feet underground

[Chorus: both]
Everybody loves you when you're dead
Everybody loves you when you're dead

[Verse 2: Sam Sparro & both]
I made my final curtain call
I only wanted the applause
It always thundered in my heart
Filled me up, tore me apart
The media will get to ya
Like static, they will cling to ya
Intoxicate and spin you round
Lift you up and kick you down

[Pre-Chorus: both & Nikka Costa & Sam Sparro]
They can't say a thing about you now (La-la-la-la-la, whoa)
Now that you're six feet underground (Oh)

[Chorus: both & Nikka Costa & Sam Sparro]
Everybody loves you when you're dead (They love you, they love you)
Everybody loves you when you're dead (Oh yes, they do)
Everybody loves you when you're dead (They love you, they love you, mmm)
Everybody loves you when you're dead

[Bridge: Sam Sparro & Nikka Costa]
(Everybody loves you when you're dead)
Oh
(Everybody loves you when you're dead)
Oh
Hey
(They can't say a thing about you now)
If I leave a song inside your head
Will you sing along when I am dead?

[Chorus: both & Nikka Costa & Sam Sparro]
Everybody loves you when you're dead (They love you, they love you)
Everybody loves you when you're dead (When you're dead)
Everybody loves you when you're dead (They love you, they love you, mmm)
Everybody loves you when you're dead (When you're dead)
Everybody loves you when you're dead (They love you, they love you)
Everybody loves you when you're dead (When you're dead)

[Outro: Nikka Costa]
Ah, uh, ah, uh-huh
Uh, ah, uh, ah, uh-huh
Uh, ah, uh, ah, uh-huh
