lyrics

Over my dead body
Over my dead body

Enjoy yourself a cup of tea
balance a biscuit on my knee
what a privileged place for you to be

Over my dead body
Over my dead body

My apartment's only two doors down
you can ring my wife she'll come around
to the situation that you've found

Over my dead body
Over my dead body

There's a birthday candle lit
in a cupcake on the window sill
a notebook you're reading bit by bit
that puzzles you and shocks you still
it seems I either had a fit
or I just had my fill
my secret's safe with it
do whatever you will

Over my dead body
Over my dead body

The phone is right there in the hall
still you've yet to make the call
it's your prerogative to stall

Over my dead body
Over my dead body

The note was serious as can be
it didn't sound that much like me
on that at least we can agree

Over my dead body
Over my dead body

There's a glowing little lamp
shining on a book that's open to a page
mysteriously damp
its corners brown with age
instead of reading what's underlined
you dial 9-1-1
the secret that was yours and mine
now belongs to everyone

Over my dead body
Over my dead body

Is that my spirit or just a little steam
hanging there like someone else's dream
ask the other members of the team

Over my dead body
Over my dead body
