Dead and Lovely lyrics

She was a middle class girl

She was in over her head

She thought she would

stand up in the deep end

He had a bullet proof smile

He had money to burn

She thought she had the moon

in her pocket

But now she's dead

She's so dead

Forever dead and lovely now

I've always been told to

remember this:

Don't let a fool kiss you

Never marry for love

He was hard to impress

He knew everyone's secrets

He wore her on his arm

Just like jewelry

He never gave but he got

He kept her on a leash

He's not the kind of wheel

you fall asleep at

But now she's dead

Forever dead

Forever dead and lovely now

Come closer, look deeper

You've fallen fast

Just like a plane on a

stormy sea

She made up someone to be

She made up somewhere to be from

This is one business in the

world where that's no

problem at all

Everything that is left

They will only plow under

Soon every one you know

will be gone

And now she's dead

Forever dead

Forever dead and lovely now

Now she's dead

Forever dead

Forever dead and lovely now

I've always been told to

remember this:

Don't let a kiss fool you

Never marry for love

Everything has its price

Everything has its place

What's more romantic

then dying in the moonlight?

Now they're all watching the sea

What's lost can never be broken

Her roots were sweet

but they were so shallow

And now she's dead

Forever dead

Forever dead and lovely now

And now she's dead

Forever dead

And she's so dead and lovely now
