A Thorn For Every Heart - Non-Album Songs Lyrics - Dead Man's Party lyrics

  • [Originally by Oingo Boingo]

    All dressed up with nowhere to go
    Walking with a dead man over my shoulder
    All dressed up with nowhere to go
    Walking with a dead man over my shoulder

    Waiting for an invitation to arrive
    Going to a party where no one's still alive
    All dressed up with nowhere to go
    (Walking with a dead man over my shoulder)

    I was struck by lighting
    Walking down the street
    I was hit by something last night in my sleep
    It's a dead man's party
    Who could ask for more
    Everybody's coming, leave your body at the door
    Leave your body and soul at the door

    Don't run away it's only me
    Don't be afraid of what you can't see

    Got my best suit and my tie
    Shiny silver dollar on either eye
    I hear the chauffeur coming to the door
    Says there's room for maybe just one more

    I was struck by lighting
    Walking down the street
    I was hit by something last night in my sleep
    It's a dead man's party
    Who could ask for more
    Everybody's coming, leave your body at the door
    Leave your body and soul at the door

    Don't run away it's only me
    Don't be afraid of what you can't see

    I was struck by lighting
    Walking down the street
    I was hit by something last night in my sleep
    It's a dead man's party
    Who could ask for more
    Everybody's coming, leave your body at the door
    I was struck by lighting
    Walking down the street
    I was hit by something last night in my sleep
    It's a dead man's party
    Who could ask for more
    Everybody's coming, leave your body at the door
