Whistle Past The Graveyard - Jeffrey Lewis

I always like to be supprised

I dont want to be told what happens after I die

Death is like a mystery gift wraped up in a box

sent from infinity and stamped with question marks.

Everyones got theres and I’ve got mine

people shake it, weigh it, discuss it all the time.

I tend to think theres nothing at all in it But its cool that I could find out any minuete

And I whistle past the graveyard when I walk

Cause I dont wanna hear the corpses talk

I dont wanna hear them grumble and complain

Or disscuss how much they want to eat my brain

and I always kind of like to be suprised

I dont wanna be told what happens after I die.

no I dont wanna hear the courpses talk

so I whistle past the graveyard when I walk

Well if we lived for ever we’d realy want to find out

But what a relief, we all die, so theres nothing to worry about

Some say that life is empty, some say its meaningless

And some say it isn’t such a bad thing if it is

and some say im wrong and that i’ll go to hell

But i’d be happy just knowing that there was a point so its just aswell

some people assume that youll suffer there, they just think you’re selfish

if I was in hell id be glad knowing that other people are in heaven

it’d make it no so hellish

And I whistle past the graveyard when I walk

Cause I dont wanna hear the corpses talk

but I want black cats to cross my path and I pick up bad pennys

and if theres monsters in my closet then come and get me and I always kind of like to be suprised

I dont wanna be told what happens after I die.

no I dont wanna hear the courpses talk

so I whistle past the graveyard when I walk
