Verse 1:
I returned a bag of groceries accidently taken off the
shelf before the expiration date
I came back as a bag of groceries accident-ly taken off the
shelf before the date stamped on myself
Chorus:
did a large procession wave their torches as my head fell in the
basket and was everybody dancing on the casket
now it s over I m dead and I haven t done anything that I want or I m
still alive and there s nothing I want to do
Verse 2:
I will never say the word procrastenate again
I ll never see myself in the mirror with my eyes closed
I didn t apologize for when I was eight and I made my
Younger brother have to be my personal slave
Chorus:
did a large procession wave their torches as my head fell in the
Basket? and was everybody dancing on the casket
Now it s over I m Dead and I haven t done anything that I want or I m
Still alive and there s nothing I want to do
Bridge:
So I won t sit at home anymore and you won t
See my head in the win- dow and I won t be around
Ever anymore and I ll be up there on the wall at the store
Verse 1:
I returned a bag of groceries accidently taken off the
shelf before the expiration date
I came back as a bag of groceries accident-ly taken off the
shelf before the date stamped on myself
Chorus:
did a large procession wave their torches as my head fell in the
Basket? and was everybody dancing on the casket
Now it s over I m Dead and I haven t done anything that I want or I m
Still alive and there s nothing I want to do
Now it s over I m Dead and I haven t done anything that I want or I m
Still alive and there s nothing I want to do
