Dandelion

Dearly beloved
We are gathered here today
To say goodbye
To that girl in the coffin over there

(Make a wish, blow a kiss, baby
Leave me crying)
(Gather dirt and weeds for her)
(So hard, so hard)
(Gather dirt and weeds for her)
(So hard, so hard)

What will they say
About me when I die?
Assuming that they’re still alive

Such a diva, they all agree
Will they feel the need to
Lie about me?

Here lies a star
In death she is free and flying
Let us take a breath, make a wish, blow a kiss

Here lies a star
As fierce as the teeth of a lion
Dandelion, dandelion, dandelion

It comes for everyone
So why should
I lose sleep about it?

Anyway, anyway

They got me all dressed up
No where to go but in this box
Locked up safe for ages

And as they make a slow retreat
With the planting now complete
Knocking dirt off of their feet
Everybody’s happy just to hear a

Here lies a star
In death she is free and flying
Let us take a breath, make a wish, blow a kiss

Here lies a star
As fierce as the teeth of a lion
Dandelion, dandelion, dandelion
