Funeral Song Lyrics

Sleater Kinney Funeral Song

Stay away from the haunted heart
Stay away from the haunted heart
Swore to yourself, make a new style
Just love the demon with the poison dart

There's nothing left to see
Turn out the lights
There's nothing left to see
Turn out the lights

Stay away from the burning house
Stay away from the burning house
To get inside, you'll never get out
Die together before the flames go out

Did it burn you baby make you scream and shout?
Did it burn you baby make you scream and shout?
Build it up just to tear it down
Nothing left but ashes of doubt

There's nothing left to see
Turn out the lights
There's nothing left to see
Turn out the lights

Put it in the ground sing a funeral song
Put it in the ground sing a funeral song
Have the neighbors over and they'll sing along
Lowering the coffin on a love gone wrong

Hey there now what did you bury today?
Hey there now what did you bury today?
Buried the love that I hoped to stay
Nothing says forever like our very own grave

There's nothing left to see
Turn out the lights
There's nothing left to see
Turn out the lights

There's nothing left of me
Just turn out the lights
No one here but me
Turn out the lights
