All dressed up with nowhere to go,....walkin' with a dead man over my shoulder
D#m                             C#   D#m                                  C#

Waiting for an invitation to arrive,....goin' to a party where no one's still alive

I was struck by lighting, walkin' 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 comin', leave your body at the door,
           G#            A#m      D#m
Leave your body and soul at the door....
