She ran outside, she left the party early, ripping her dress, she got her stockings dirty
Standing in the rain, she swore she'd never hurt again,
Although her thinking was slightly influenced by the night that she'd abandoned
Dinner for 5, she'd left the hostess stranded
She caused quite a scene, throwing her napkin down and rising
The guests pretended that they hadn't seen her aflame
The wine glasses were filled, and she started burning at the table
Informing her of the fable that this is her living funeral tonight
This is her living funeral tonight
So the legend goes, dinner deteriorated
When she didn't return, the guests and their mourning faded
Running through the rain, she swore she'd never see them again
Although her thinking was slightly deranged
This is her living funeral
This is her living funeral tonight
Attendance could be better, she could have worn a different sweater
This is her living funeral tonight
