Verse

I returned a bag of groceries accidentally taken off the shelf
Before the expiration date
I came back as a bag of groceries accidentally taken off the shelf
Before the date stamped on myself 

Bridge

Did a large procession wave their torches as my head fell in the basket?
And was everybody dancing on the casket?

Chorus

Now it's over, I'm dead and I haven't done anything that I want
Or I'm still alive and there's nothing I want to do  

Verse

I will never say the word procrastinate again
I'll never see myself in the mirror with my eyes closed
I didn't apologize for when I was eight and I made my younger brother
Have to be my personal slave 

Bridge

Did a large procession wave their torches as my head fell in the basket?
And was everybody dancing on the casket?

Chorus

Now it's over, I'm dead and I haven't done anything that I want
Or I'm still alive and there's nothing I want to do  
MIDDLE 8
So I won't sit at home anymore and you won't
See my head in the window and I won't be around
Ever anymore and I'll be up there on the wall at the store

Verse

I returned a bag of groceries accidentally taken off the shelf
Before the expiration date  
I came back as a bag of groceries accidentally taken off the shelf
Before the date stamped on myself 

Bridge

Did a large procession wave their torches as my head fell in the basket?
And was everybody dancing on the casket?

Chorus

Now it's over, I'm dead and I haven't done anything that I want
Or I'm still alive and there's nothing I want to do  

Chorus

Now it's over, I'm dead and I haven't done anything that I want
Or I'm still alive and there's nothing I want to do
