Post Mortem Blues Lyrics by Bob Theil

So Far

0

[Verse 1]
Oh this party scene is sure swinging hot
She’s a half cut lady giving all that she’s got
With his tongue in her cheek, she’s wanting to speak
He says “Don’t talk baby, my brain’s feeling weak.”

[Verse 2]
There’s a face next to mine, asking why I’m so tall
Why I’m standing so still, my back to the wall
“Well, the architect who’s passed out, he’s a clown
Says if I don’t stand here, it’ll all fall down”

[Chorus]
He’s got the post mortem blues
He’s got the post mortem blues
He’s got the post mortem blues again over you

[Verse 3]
She’s a soft-hearted beauty who’s been watching my lips
She turns to a friend who’s caressing her hips
Saying “What’s up with your mate, he looks like he’s died”
Oh his tongue can’t move when his brain’s paralysed

[Chorus]
I’ve got the post mortem blues
He’s got the post mortem blues
I’ve got the post mortem blues again over you

[Verse 4]
So with the dawn in my eyes and my head on the floor
I swim through the debris, reaching the door
I pause in the doorway, with the hostess, and grin
“Oh, it’s the same worn story, just how do you win?

[Chorus]
I’ve got the post mortem blues
He’s got the post mortem blues
I’ve got the post mortem blues again over you.”
