Luke Haines - What Happens When We Die lyrics

Talking to a girl crying down the phone Now listen to me and try and catch your breath She said do you see the fear when you look in my eyes I'd really like to know what happens when we die Loving couples together for years Torn apart by their grieving We can hardly cope with this level of emotion Two people cannot mourn for years A doctor from the north, a friend of the family Is comforting your mother drinking in the front room I couldn't make the funeral I know it really hurt you Right now it just seems to me everybody's dying (When we die, When we die, When we die, When we die...) When I remember your father as a ghost Not an old man diagnosed with cancer Ten weeks later, lying in a hospice bed Surrounded by loved ones, learning how to die Talking to a stone, wailing at a grave Maybe when a year has past, go and see a medium Bury him with children, blame a suicide I'd really like to know what happens when we die Will the dead outnumber the living? The silent majority, spare parts for surgery We're not bespoke, we're not best fitted I'd really like to know what happens when we die When we die, When we die, When we die, I still miss you I know I really miss you
