Small Talk for Dead People Songtext
von Oh He Dead

Half-stoned in a funeral home
And I forgot my Xanax
It′s gonna be a long long afternoon

So let's make small talk
How′s your new job?
How's your kid?
How's your wife?
It′s gonna be a long long afternoon

Thought it would be a long long life
There in the casket is my friend
I loved her till the end
I wish I got to tell her
Damn, why don′t we ever tell them

But how was your drive?
I made good time
I stopped in Breezewood to get high
Cause I knew
It's gonna be a long long afternoon


Just trying to live my life
And I don′t know how
And I don't know why
I fill my time
Avoid the mystery
We celebrate your death
With empty smiles and regret
Fill our minds
Avoid the misery

Half smiles and tears in our eyes
And a plate full of crackers
It′s gonna be a long long afternoon

I haven't seen you in forever
Why don′t we talk about the weather?
The leaves look so pretty this time of year
Near the bathroom is her dad
Trying not to let us see him sad
He's gonna have a long long afternoon

Just trying to live my life
And I don't know how
And I don′t know why
I fill my time
Avoid the mystery
We celebrate your death
With empty smiles and regret
Fill our minds
Avoid the misery


And then we tell ourselves
That it won′t end this way for me
No I won't die
I′ll rewrite history
But deep down inside
We know that that is just a lie
And we all die
There ain't no mystery

So we make small talk
About our new jobs
And your new bathroom tile
It′s gonna be a long long afternoon
