lyrics

There's nothing quite as sobering as rushing through a eulogy
I'm a little out of practice with this prayer thing
We lost your name in Sunday best
The verses, hymns and last requests
The father, son, the holy ghost, amen

I came to terms with my mortality on a rainy night in January
It played out like a movie scene with black umbrella canopies
The rifles fired 1, 2, 3
The trumpet faded solemnly
You deserved a symphony
We all deserve a symphony

Are funerals for the living?
We should have done things a little differently
Are funerals for the living?
We should have done things a little differently

I wish that I could trade processions for parades
The hearse and limousines for mustangs
Filled the streets with all your dearest friends
And a marching band to lead you in

I'd cross out all the dirges and laments
And sing your favorite Beatles songs instead
Tell stories 'til our voices give
And toast our bottles to the life you lived

But tradition's all we can afford
So mind the business hours at the door
I'm sorry, folks, our time is up
Please take the exit through the gift shop

And if tomorrow I die in my sleep
Please sing for you and sing for me
Not for the gods, not for the kings
But for the company we keep

Are funerals for the living?
We should have done things differently
