She ran outside, she left the party early
ripping her dress, she got her stockings dirty.
Standing in the rain
she swore she'd never hurt again,
Although her thinking was slightly influenced by the night that she'd abandoned.
Dinner for 5, she'd left the hostess stranded.
She caused quite a scene
throwing her napkin down and rising.
The guests pretended that they hadn't seen her a flame.
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.
So the legend goes, dinner deteriorated.
When she didn't 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.
This is her living funeral.
This is her living funeral tonight.
Attendance could be better
she could have worn a different sweater.
This is her living funeral tonight.
