Wicked

La dee-dee da dee da-dee-day

La dee-dee da dee da-dee-day

The day of a funeral, the mourners dressed in black

They came to say their piece and go

No, they're not looking back!

I was the first to arrive and the last one to leave

Time ticked on without me while I waded through the grief

I'm drowning in my goodbyes, when I start to realize

I'm not quite sure who died, until a chill runs up my spine

Six feet under

And now I start to wonder

If, for all this time, perhaps the funeral was mine

I know I can't be mad, but I'm absolutely livid!

To think that I was dead when I thought that I was living

Just take me as I am

A memory so vivid!

And savor all the parts you can cuz no one mourns the wicked!

La dee-dee da dee da-dee-day

Absolutely livid!

La dee-dee da dee da-dee-day

A memory so vivid

No one mourns the wicked!

Here lies our dearly beloved

Who suffered a lack of common sense

And though we'll miss her

The best thing to do here is let the dead rest

This is the part where the real work starts

Where I reap what I've sown and own up

When the harvest begins, let it wash away my sins

Never tilled a field with seeds to grow

Never watered, weeded, picked, or eaten

Anything

Of my own, on my own

But I know I've got to

Tend to the ends I loosened over time and put out the bridges I set on fire

That's right

It's gonna take a while to clean up the mess I left behind

This is the part where the real work starts

The real work starts

Where I reap what I've sown and own up and pay what I owe!

If after all this time, you find I'm all but timid

Bear in mind that turning tides could leave an ocean winded

My heart will only grow with me, who owes to mend it

And as seasons come and go, living on becomes the ending!

I know I shouldn't laugh, but it's hard not to do

The shallow grave my temple claimed was just the hole I dug myself into

Just take me as I am, a memory so vivid

And then savor all the parts you can, cuz no one mourns the wicked!

We all could use some mending!

Living on becomes the ending!

A memory so vivid

No one mourns the wicked!

Oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh

No one mourns the wicked
