"Garden Party" lyrics

By the time you'd have woven the casket
The sheets will have started to smell
By the time you'd remember the windows
The insects will be kissing me farewell

You'd never stomach me in the closet
Like all those rooms you never clean
Darling, there's no better hatchet to bury than me

So let's throw my garden party
You promised roses, but gave me thorns
You'd leave me rotting till summer's over
Guess I'll be digging alone

By the time you'd remember my favorite dress
You'd have put me in yours
By the time you'd be asking for makeup
My body would be halfway out the door

You never bothered showing up in your best
Cause who'd wanna dirty their sleeves?
Darling, there's no better hatchet to bury than me

So let's throw my garden party
You promised roses, but gave me thorns
You'd leave me rotting till summer's over
Guess I'll be digging alone

If you wanted to kill me
Missed your chance long ago
I can tell you won't miss me
Guess it takes one to know

You never bothered with any respect
You won't treat my death differently
Darling, there's no better hatchet to bury than-

So let's throw my garden party
You promised roses, but gave me thorns
You'd leave me rotting till summer's over
Guess I'll be digging a-

Hole, just my garden party
Feeding my roses with dirt and bones
You'll be here rotting till summer's over
Guess I'll be digging
All the while singing
Guess I'll be digging alone
