She was a middle class girl
She was in over her head
She thought she would
stand up in the deep endHe had a bullet proof smile
He had money to burn
She thought she had the moon
in her pocketBut now she's dead
She's so dead
Forever dead and lovely nowI've always been told to
remember this:
Don't let a fool kiss you
Never marry for loveHe was hard to impress
He knew everyone's secrets
He wore her on his arm
Just like jewelryHe never gave but he got
He kept her on a leash
He's not the kind of wheel
you fall asleep atBut now she's dead
Forever dead
Forever dead and lovely nowCome closer, look deeper
You've fallen fast
Just like a plane on a
stormy seaShe made up someone to be
She made up somewhere to be from
This is one business in the
world where that's no
problem at allEverything that is left
They will only plow under
Soon every one you know
will be goneAnd now she's dead
Forever dead
Forever dead and lovely nowNow she's dead
Forever dead
Forever dead and lovely nowI've always been told to
remember this:
Don't let a kiss fool you
Never marry for loveEverything has its price
Everything has its place
What's more romantic
then dying in the moonlight?Now they're all watching the sea
What's lost can never be broken
Her roots were sweet
but they were so shallowAnd now she's dead
Forever dead
Forever dead and lovely nowAnd now she's dead
Forever dead
And she's so dead and lovely now
