Dandelion

Dearly beloved
 We are gathered here today
 To say goodbye
 To that girl in the coffin over there
 Make a wish, blow a kiss, baby, leave me crying
 Gather dirt and weeds for her
 Sad, sad
 Gather dirt and weeds for her
 Sad, sad
 What will they say about me when I die?
 Assuming that they're still alive
 "Such a diva", they all agree
 Will they feel the need to lie about me?
 Here lies a star
 In death she is free and flying
 Let us take a breath, make a wish, blow a kiss
 Sad, sad
 Here lies a star
 As fierce as the teeth of a lion
 Dandelion, dandelion
 Sad, sad
 Dandelion
 Gather dirt and weeds for her
 Sad, sad
 Gather dirt and weeds for her
 Sad, sad
 It comes for everyone
 So, why should I lose sleep about it?
 Anyway, anyway
 They got me all dressed up, nowhere to go
 Put in this box, locked up safe for ages (safe for ages)
 And as they make a slow retreat
 With the planting now complete
 Knocking dirt up off their feet
 Everybody's happy just to hear her
 Here lies a star
 In death she is free and flying
 Let us take a breath, make a wish, blow a kiss
 Sad, sad
 Here lies a star
 As fierce as the teeth of a lion
 Dandelion, dandelion
 Sad, sad
 Dandelion
 Gather dirt and weeds for her
 Gather dirt and weeds for her
 Here lies a star
 In death she is free and flying
 Let us take a breath, make a wish, blow a kiss
 Sad, sad
 Here lies a star
 As fierce as the teeth of a lion
 Dandelion, dandelion
 Sad, sad
 Dandelion
 Gather dirt and weeds for her
