Dead Man's Party
Unveiling the Mysterious Dead Man's Revelry
Lyrics
I'm all dressed up with nowhere to go
I am fully dressed but have no specific destination or purpose.
Walking with a dead man over my shoulder
I am accompanied by a deceased person, carrying their weight or influence.
Waiting for an invitation to arrive
Waiting for an invitation to an event or gathering.
Going to a party where no one's still alive
Heading to a party where everyone is already dead.
I was struck by lightning
Experiencing a sudden realization or inspiration.
Walking down the street
Walking along the street.
And I was hit by something last night in my sleep
Having encountered something impactful or significant during sleep.
It's a dead man's party
Describing the nature of the party – a gathering for the deceased.
Who could ask for more?
Expressing contentment or satisfaction with the situation.
Everybody's coming, leave your body at the door
Inviting everyone to join the party, leaving their physical bodies behind.
Leave your body and soul at the door
Emphasizing the separation of body and soul upon entering the party.
Don't run away it's only me
Assuring others not to flee, as the presence is harmless.
Got my best suit and my tie
Indicating a well-dressed appearance with formal attire.
Shiny silver dollar on either eye
Wearing a suit with silver dollars covering the eyes, possibly symbolizing death.
I hear the chauffeur coming to my door (coming to my door)
Anticipating the arrival of a chauffeur at the door.
He says there's room for maybe just one more
Chauffeur suggesting limited space for additional attendees.
I was struck by lightning
Repeating the earlier realization or inspiration.
Walking down the street
Reiterating the act of walking down the street.
I was hit by something last night in my sleep
Recalling the impactful encounter during sleep.
It's a dead man's party
Reaffirming the nature of the party as one for the deceased.
Who could ask for more?
Expressing satisfaction with the current state of affairs.
Everybody's coming, leave your body at the door
Inviting everyone to the party, reiterating the need to leave physical bodies behind.
Leave your body and soul at the door
Emphasizing the separation of body and soul upon entering the party, repeated for emphasis.
Don't run away it's only me
Reassuring others not to be scared, as the presence is non-threatening.
Don't be afraid of what you can't see
Encouraging acceptance and lack of fear towards the unseen or unknown.
