Everyone Loves You When You're Dead
One man's life is another man's myth
A distortion of words, changing with every new passing sun
Like Truth, rising from the bottom of her well
Kipling was right, she returns home and the story runs
The best you had wasn't good enough while your heart was beating
But now that the curtain's drawn, you're legend's breathing
They always love you when you're dead
Oblivion has a new star
Ain't that a final kick in the head
How everyone loves you when you're dead
A great inscription, was that the life long goal
A passing milestone for an afterlife worthy of headlines
Another soldier, braving the odds on an desolate hill
Or a stowaway on the Titanic, descending below the waterline
The best you had wasn't good enough while your heart was beating
But now that the curtain's drawn, you're legend's breathing
They always love you when you're dead
Oblivion has a new star
Ain't that a final kick in the head
How everyone loves you when you're dead
Hushabye, be a good little boy and go to sleep
Hushabye, be a nice little girl and close your eyes
Hushabye, you know everything will be better now
Now that the curtain's drawn, your legend's breathing
They always love you when you're dead
Oblivion has a new star
Ain't that a final kick in the head
How everyone loves you when you're dead
