Laughing At Funerals

I'm sweating in my black dress
Too warm for funerals
My cousins stand around
Smoking cigarettes
Fuming in the face of death

Same earth that welcomed me home
Covered up with AstroTurf
Perfect for a burial
Uncomfortably close

I should be sleeping by now
But I'm not
And I can see the headlights
Tumbling down the track
At the back of my eyes

I should be sleeping by now
But I'm not
And I still see the headlights
Tumbling down the track
At the back of my eyes

You were a day sleeper
Still it's different now that you're gone
You were a day sleeper
New silence filling the house

We don't laugh at funerals

Sometimes I guess
I guess we don't know how to act
Impropriety sneaking in between the cracks
I feel the bench at my back
Snap back into it
Remember I was so sad

I should be sleeping by now
But I'm not
And I can see the headlights
Tumbling down the track
At the back of my eyes

I should be sleeping by now
But I'm not
And I still see the headlights
Tumbling down the track
At the back of my eyes

You were a day sleeper
Still it's different now that you're gone
You were a day sleeper
New silence filling the house

We don't laugh at funerals
