Dead's Man Party Songtext
von Oingo Boingo

Yeah, yeah, let ′em in

I'm all dressed up with nowhere to go
Walkin′ with a dead man over my shoulder
I'm all dressed up with nowhere to go
Walkin' with a dead man over my shoulder

Waiting for an invitation to arrive
Goin′ to a party where no one′s still alive
Waiting for an invitation to arrive
Goin' to a party where no one′s still alive

I was struck by lightning, walkin' down the street
I was hit by something last night in my sleep
It′s a dead man's party, who could ask for more?
Everybody′s comin', leave your body at the door
Leave your body and soul at the door

Don't run away, it′s only me
Only me


I′m all dressed up with nowhere to go
Walkin' with a dead man, with a dead man
Ooh-ooh, waitin′ for an invitation to arrive
Ooh, walkin' with a dead man, with a dead man

I got my best suit and my tie
With shiny silver dollar on either eye
I hear the chauffeur comin′ to my door
He says there's room for maybe just one more

Hey, I was struck by lightning, walkin′ down the street
I was hit by something last night in my sleep
It's a dead man's party, who could ask for more?
Everybody′s comin′, leave your body at the door
Leave your body and soul at the door

Don't run away, it′s only me
Don't be afraid of what you can′t see
Don't run away, it′s only me
Don't be afraid of what you can't see
It′s only me

I was struck by lightning, walkin′ down the street
I was hit by something last night in my sleep
It's a dead man′s party, who could ask for more?
Everybody's comin′, leave your body at the door
Leave your body and soul at the door


Don't run away, it′s only me
Don't be afraid of what you can't see
Don′t run away, it′s only me
Don't be afraid of what you can′t see

It's only me
It′s only me, only me
It's only me, it′s only me
Only me, it's only me
It's only me
It′s only me
