Through a combination of alcohol And the chemicals you’d consumed Laid a broken path before a stoic man The stars became your roof So be proud. Be proud This is your big debut kid So be proud. Be proud You’ve got a crowd to see you through this
Set the stage Displayed you laid there cold Then came the eulogies I thought you’d like to know
You barely knew us You were out of touch Out of touch for so long You filled the room up And none of us Knew we cared ’til you’re gone
Be proud. Be proud This is your big debut kid So be proud. Be proud We got a crowd to see you through this
They found you face down on the floor You were somebody else the night before Another slip up. Another fall You’d be searching your soul for something more
Fuck Another slip up. Another fall You’d be searching your soul for something more
You barely knew us You were out of touch Out of touch for so long You filled the room up And none of us Knew we cared ’til you’re gone
The funeral was in full bloom You always knew how to fill a room The funeral was in full bloom To send you home
And while the crowd remained composed They put a trophy on your stone I guess you found a place to rest those bones And while the crowd remained composed They put your crown upon your throne I guess you found a place to rest those bones
You barely knew us You were out of touch Out of touch for so long You filled the room up And none of us Knew we cared ’til you’re gone
And everyone came in colours And everyone came in colours
