Dead and Lovely
She was a middle class girlShe was in over her headShe thought she wouldstand up in the deep end
He had a bullet proof smileHe had money to burnShe thought she had the moonin her pocket
But now she's deadShe's so deadForever dead and lovely now
I've always been told toremember this:Don't let a fool kiss youNever marry for love
He was hard to impressHe knew everyone's secretsHe wore her on his armJust like jewelry
He never gave but he gotHe kept her on a leashHe's not the kind of wheelyou fall asleep at
But now she's deadForever deadForever dead and lovely now
Come closer, look deeperYou've fallen fastJust like a plane on astormy sea
She made up someone to beShe made up somewhere to be fromThis is one business in theworld where that's noproblem at all
Everything that is leftThey will only plow underSoon every one you knowwill be gone
And now she's deadForever deadForever dead and lovely now
Now she's deadForever deadForever dead and lovely now
I've always been told toremember this:Don't let a kiss fool youNever marry for love
Everything has its priceEverything has its placeWhat's more romanticthen dying in the moonlight?
Now they're all watching the seaWhat's lost can never be brokenHer roots were sweetbut they were so shallow
And now she's deadForever deadForever dead and lovely now
And now she's deadForever deadAnd she's so dead and lovely now
