"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 want to 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 teardrops away
Oh, dance dance dance, when I'm gone
Yeah

Fireworks and caviar
Turn the church into a bar
Guns N' 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

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 (On my grave)
Dance dance dance the teardrops away (Teardrops away)
Dance dance dance, oh when I'm gone
(Oh, when I'm gone)

So call me 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
(When I'm gone)

Oh, when I'm gone, go turn the radio on
When I'm gone, scream at the top of your lungs (Scream at the top of your lungs)
And dance dance dance, dance on my grave (On my grave)
Dance dance dance the teardrops away (Teardrops away)
Oh, dance dance dance, when I'm gone
Just keep on dancing when I'm gone
