Ryan Adams – Funeral Marching

Oh, what’s the use in trying?

Thick as thieves and packs of lies

Marching to the palaces of night

All my life I looked for something

All my seas are drops of rain

Drunk as sailors drinking from your hand

Girl, you can do just as you like

Girl, you can do just as you please

Girl, you wanted, you could’ve been dead

Now, you’re swinging like a funeral march in June

And it’s way past July

Oh, what’s the use in trying?

All the time, it ends in nothing

Oh, what’s the use in trying now?

Burn all the canvases

They painted up the queens in crutches

Trial to see how they all see you now

Girl, you can do just as you like

Girl, you can do just as you please

Girl, you wanted, you could’ve been dead

Now, you’re swinging like a funeral march, oh

Yeah, but nobody died

Oh, you’re swinging like a funeral march

Oh, you used to be beautiful

Oh, you used to be beautiful

Oh, you used to be beautiful

Oh…

Oh, what’s the use in trying?

Everything turns to nothing

No mechanics here can save your life

Moons crash inside the opera

Oozing all the starless actors

All hung there in pieces of a sky

Girl, you can do just as you like

Girl, you can do just as you please

Girl, you wanted, you could’ve been dead

Now, you’re swinging like a funeral march, oh

Yeah, but nobody died

Oh, you’re swinging like a funeral march

Oh, you used to be beautiful

Oh, you used to be beautiful

Oh, you used to be beautiful
