Just Another Funeral by This Kind of Punishment Lyrics
[Verse 1]
The priest is waiting
As the mourners shuffle in
And the piano player's playing
Some old religious hymn
[Bridge]
It's just another funeral
Just somebody's funeral
And it's raining outside
[Verse 2]
The dead man is resting
Inside an open coffin
With unseeing eyes
Now everybody's waiting
For the service to begin
And the priest is saying
What a great man he'd been...
"So good and so kind
And it really should have been
Somebody else's funeral."
[Verse 3]
The priest is watching
As the people walk outside
With no love in their eyes
And the wife is weeping
But what can he say?
Just words of condolence as she stumbles away
It's just another funeral
And he has to be in time for the next one...
The priest is waiting
As the mourners shuffle in
And the piano player's playing
Some old religious hymn
[Bridge]
It's just another funeral
Just somebody's funeral
And it's raining outside
[Verse 2]
The dead man is resting
Inside an open coffin
With unseeing eyes
Now everybody's waiting
For the service to begin
And the priest is saying
What a great man he'd been...
"So good and so kind
And it really should have been
Somebody else's funeral."
[Verse 3]
The priest is watching
As the people walk outside
With no love in their eyes
And the wife is weeping
But what can he say?
Just words of condolence as she stumbles away
It's just another funeral
And he has to be in time for the next one...
