"My Funeral Song" lyrics

(When I'm gone)

Feels kind of unusual
To have fun at a funeral
Don't want you there about to cry
In a suit and tie
Don't wanna be
In a church I'd never go (I'd never go)
Don't want somebody I didn't know (I didn't know)
To read a verse I've never heard
For my final words

Oh, you know I had to go and write this song
So you don't go and get it wrong

When I'm gone
Go turn the radio on
When I'm gone
Scream at the top of your lungs
And dance, dance, dance
Dance on my grave
Dance, dance, dance
The tear drops away
Dance, dance, dance
Oh, when I'm gone
(Oh, when I'm gone)
Yeah

Fireworks and caviar
Turn the church into a bar
Guns and roses, broken hearts
And a cheap guitar

Oh, you know I had to go and write this song
So you don't go and get it wrong (Yeah!)

When I'm gone
Go turn the radio on
When I'm gone (When I'm gone)
Scream at the top of your lungs (Scream at)
And dance, dance, dance
Dance on my grave (On my grave)
Dance, dance, dance
The tear drops away
Dance, dance, dance
Oh, when I'm gone
(Oh, when I'm gone)

So call me a hypocritical
'Cause I'd cry if you were gone
But it's my fucking funeral
So give me what I want
(Give me what I want!)

(What I want
When I'm gone)

When I'm gone
Go turn the radio on
When I'm gone (And when I'm gone)
Scream at the top of your lungs
(Scream at the top of my lungs)
And dance, dance, dance
Dance on my grave (On my grave)
Dance, dance, dance
The tear drops away (Tear drops away)
Dance, dance, dance
Oh, when I'm gone

Just keep on dancing when I'm gone
