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
