The Cure - The Funeral Party lyrics

Two pale figures

Ache in silence

Timeless

In the quiet ground

Side by side

In age and sadness

I watched

And acted wordlessly

As piece by piece

You performed your story

Moving through an unknown past

Dancing at the funeral party

Memories of childrens dreams

Lie lifeless

Fading

Lifeless

Hand in hand with fear and shadows

Crying at the funeral party

I heard a song

And turned away

As piece by piece

You performed your story

Noiselessly across the floor

Dancing at the funeral party
