Bring Out Your Dead Lyrics by Skittish

The Perfect Shade of Green II

2010

[Verse 1: Vonnie Kyle and Jeff Noller]
Take a piece. A bouquet of posies, dried up
It's bound to trip you up
The things you did for love, heaven sent
[Chorus: Vonnie Kyle and Jeff Noller]
Now that you're done, bring out your dead
(You, sitting alone, bring out your dead)
You promised nothing would change
(You promised)
Now that you're done, bring out your dead
(Sing your saddest song, bring out your dead)
One try and down comes the rain
(One try)
Now that you're done, bring out your dead
(Think of days you were young, bring out your dead)
You promised nothing would change
(You promised)
Now that you're done...
(Think what you should've done)
[Verse 2: Vonnie Kyle and Jeff Noller]
Make your peace. A pocket of posies can help
In the silence that comes with the
Presence of large predators
I washed your scent from my sheets
And still it comes
[Chorus: Vonnie Kyle and Jeff Noller]
Now that you're done, bring out your dead
(You, sitting alone, bring out your dead)
You promised nothing would change
(You promised)
Now that you're done, bring out your dead
(Sing your saddest song, bring out your dead)
One try and down comes the rain
(One try)
Now that you're done, bring out your dead
(Think of days you were young, bring out your dead)
You promised nothing would change
(You promised)
Now that you're done bring out your dead
(Think what you should've done, bring out your dead)
One try and down comes the rain
(One try)
Now that you're done, bring out your dead
(You, sitting alone, bring out your dead)
You promised nothing would change
(You promised)
Now that you're gone gone gone gone
(Think, now that you're gone)
[Outro: Vonnie Kyle]
Everybody's staying, waiting for their life to change
But my life just changed in every way
Everyday I know
And I just want a greener lawn someday, but maybe I'll rest here for awhile
