lyrics

I can’t believe he’s asked me, I don’t know what to wear
Should I dress for mourning or should I dress to scare?
No one else is going, no one else I know
Will I be the only one to go?

It’s so cool to be here, I can’t believe my eyes
Was I meant to bring a gift or some sort of surprise?
This music’s pretty creepy, it kind of hurts my ears
And the cake’s off and where the hell’s my beer?

It’s a weird occasion but I’ll give it a chance
And I’ll stay for one more dance

Just came to say congratulations
500 years dead today
Should that be commiserations?
Sorry your head turned out that way
Dead today, dead today, 500 years dead today
Dead today, dead today, 500 years dead today

A disco in a dungeon in the candlelight
How long do I have to stay? Will it take all night?
No one really told me that I should eat before
Now I’m hungry and my feet are getting sore

So I’ll go thanks so much for inviting me
I’ll tell everyone how frightening you can be

Just came to say congratulations
500 years dead today
Should that be commiserations?
Sorry your head turned out that way

Dead today, dead today, 500 years dead today
Dead today, dead today, 500 years dead today
Dead today, dead today, 500 years dead today
Dead today, dead today, 500 years dead today
