Dearly Departed

John F Kennedy, Marilyn Monroe
Andy Warhol had his Brigitte Bardot
Right here, right now
Everything to me
Flash in a pan, making history with romance

Unhappily ever after
I’ll hold my peace
Hold my peace forever
Take me to the edge
Baptize me in sickness
Dearly departed what have we gathered to witness?

Sid and Nancy, kill me while I'm high
Juliet Romeo, double suicide
Marc Antony, Cleopatra
Snake venom, O Happy Dagger!

Unhappily ever after
I’ll hold my peace
Hold my peace forever
Take me to the edge
Baptize me in sickness
Dearly Departed what have we gathered to witness?

Muses and lovers, checkout line magazine covers
Jesus Christ you make me feel religious
Unhappily ever after
I’ll hold my peace forever
Take me to the edge
Baptize me in sickness
Dearly Departed what have we gathered to witness?
