{Verse 1}:
She ran outside, she left the party early
Ripping her dress, she got her stockings dirty
Standing in the rain
She thought she'd never hurt again
Although her thinking was slightly influenced
By the night that she'd abandoned
Dinner for five, she left the hostess stranded
{Pre-Chorus & chorus}:
She caused quite a scene
Throwing her napkin down and rising
The guests pretended that they hadn't seen her aflame
The wine glasses were filled
And she started burning at the table
Informing her of the fable
That this is her living funeral, tonight
This is her living funeral
Tonight
{Verse 2}:
So the legend goes, dinner deteriorated
When she did not return
The guests and their mourning faded
Running through the rain
She swore she'd never see them again
Although her thinking was slightly deranged
{Chorus}:
This is her living funeral
This is her living funeral, tonight
{Outro}:
Attendance couldve been better
She could've worn a different sweater
This is her living funeral tonight
