Lyrics

When I was dead I wore a strong perfume When I was dead I never left the room And I saw the apples hanging Like moments in the orchard But falling into action The moment soon is over No returns When I was dead I wasn't interested in sex I didn't even care what happened next I was free as a penny whistle And silent as the gloom I wasn't me to speak of Just a thousand ancient feelings That vanished into nothing Into love When I was dead somebody took my hand I couldn't see his face I took his hand And the devil asked me to supper He said "Careful with the spoons" And God said "Ignore him I've got all your albums" I said "Yes, but who's got all the tunes?" When I was dead When I was dead When I was dead When I was dead
