I'm coming up only to hold you under
I'm coming up only to show you wrong
And to know you is hard, we wonder
To know you, all wrong we were

Really too late to call
So we wait for morning to wake you
That's all we got
To know me as hardly golden
Is to know me all wrong, they were

At every occasion, I'll be ready for the funeral
Every occasion, once more, it's called the funeral
Every occasion, know I'm ready for the funeral
At every occasion, oh, one billion-day funeral

I'm coming up only to show you down
For I'm coming up only to show you wrong

To the outside the dead leaves, they're on the lawn
Before they died, had trees to hang their hope

And every occasion
I'll be ready for the funeral
And every occasion once more
It's called the funeral
And every occasion
Oh, I'm ready for the funeral
Every occasion
Of one billion-day funeral

I'm coming up only to pull you under
I'm  coming up only to show you wrong
To know you is hard, we wonder
To know you, all wrong we were
Oh, oh, oh
Oh
It's really to late to call, so we wait for
Morning to wake you is all we got
And to know me as hardly golden
As to know me, all wrong they were
At every occasion, I'll be ready for the funeral
At every occasion, once more called the funeral
At every occasion, I'll be ready for  for the funeral
at every occasion, oh one brilliant-day funeral
I'm coming up only to show you down for
I'm coming up only to show you wrong
To the outside the dead leaves they're on the law
For they don't have trees to hang their own
Oh, oh, oh
At every occasion, I'll be ready for the funeral
At every occasion, once more called the funeral
At every occasion, I'll be ready for the funeral
At every occasion, oh one-brilliant day funeral
