Jeffrey Lewis Whistle Past The Graveyard lyrics

I always like to be supprised
i dont want to be told what happens after i die
Death is like a mystery gift wraped up in a box
sent from infinity and stamped with question marks.
Everyones got theres and ive got mine
people shake it, weigh it, discuss it all the time .
i tend to think theres nothing at all in it
But its cool that i could find out any minuete

And i whistle past the graveyard when i walk
Cause i dont wanna hear the corpses talk
I dont wanna hear them grumble and complain
Or disscuss how much they want to eat my brain

and i always kind of like to be suprised
i dont wanna be told what happens after i die.
no i dont wanna hear the courpses talk
so i whistle past the graveyard when i walk

*WHISTLE!!*

Well if we lived for ever we'd realy want to find out
But what a relief, we all die, so theres nothing to worry about

Some say that life is empty, some say its meaningless
And some say it isn't such a bad thing if it is
and some say im wrong and that i'll go to hell
But i'd be happy just knowing that there was a point so its just aswell
some people assume that youll suffer there, they just think you're selfish
if i was in hell id be glad knowing that other people are in heaven
it'd make it no so hellish

And i whistle past the graveyard when i walk
Cause i dont wanna hear the corpses talk
but i want black cats to cross my path and i pick up bad pennys
and if theres monsters in my closet then come and get me

and i always kind of like to be suprised
i dont wanna be told what happens after i die.
no i dont wanna hear the courpses talk
so i whistle past the graveyard when i walk

*WHISTLE DAMMIT! WHISTLE!*
