The Cure — The Funeral Party

[Verse 1] Two pale figures ache in silence Timeless in the quiet ground Side by side in age and sadness [Verse 2] I watched and acted wordlessly As piece by piece, you performed your story Moving through an unknown past Dancing at the funeral party [Verse 3] Memories of children's dreams Lie lifeless, fading lifeless Hand in hand with fear and shadows Crying at the funeral party [Verse 4] I heard a song and turned away As piece by piece, you performed your story Noiselessly across the floor Dancing at the funeral party
