The Bride Is Dead

Everybody save the date, 'cause in the month of May
He gonna marry the love of his life
It was the last beat of her heart, when death had done 'em part
He said, "Gonna' make this corpse my bride"
Wedding bells are ringing
And the Maid of Honour's singing
Oh the bride is dead, her soul is gone
The bride is dead, but love carries on
It's like a miracle, the wedding's a funeral
Her man gonna' drink in life he said
Everybody raise a glass, the bride is dead
It was easier I guess fitting in her wedding dress
'Cause she hadn't eaten for a couple weeks
She is old as she is new
She's borrowed and she's blue
So we used a lot of blush on her cheeks
The best man's got the ring and
It's beautiful, the only thing is
Oh the bride is dead, her soul is gone
The bride is dead, but love carries on
It's like a miracle, the wedding's a funeral
Her man gonna' drink in life he said
Everybody raise a glass, the bride is dead
You could never break your heart
As sure as the night will fall
You could never break her heart
You got the purest love of them all
A hush fell on the room, and the preacher asked the groom
"Do you take this woman as your wife"
He said, "I do, I did, I probably should've years ago
It moves too fast, this goddamn life
And you can't chase forever
It only lasts while you're together."
Oh the bride is dead, her soul is gone
The bride is dead, but love carries on
It's like a miracle, the wedding's a funeral
Oh the bride is dead, her soul is gone
The bride is dead, but love carries on
It's like a miracle, the wedding's a funeral
Her man gonna' drink in life he said
Her man gonna' drink in life he said
Her man gonna' drink in life he said
Everybody raise a glass
The bride is dead
