Toll the bell, tie the bow Paint the tears in candy glow Black lace, pink light, kiss the gloom We’re dancin’ in a velvet tomb Midnight satin, powdered skies Diamond sorrow in my eyes Roses weep in sugared red For every lovely, buried dead Ivory hands and raven veils Moonlit prayers and silver nails Candles flicker, sweetly swayed By all the vows the dark has made Mourn me softly, mourn me bright Glossy tears in deep moonlight Lay me down in lace and chrome Turn the crypt into a home Sing the requiem, la-la-la Under stained glass stars above Black bouquet and bubblegum Pretty little kingdom come Kiss the coffin, strike the pose Petal pink on dying rose If the night is all we’ve got Then make it sweet and make it hot Velvet thunder, chapel haze Perfume smoke in purple braids Heaven’s gate in rhinestone black No one lost is coming back Still we twirl through mourning halls Glitter dust on marble walls Dirges dressed in candy sheen Softest ghost you’ve ever seen Cry in sequins, smile in grief Sugar spun around the bleak Saints and sinners, side by side Swaying for the dearly died Raise the requiem, sha-na-na Glossy lips and tears of love Black lipstick and cherry gloss Dancing pretty through the loss Spin the rosary, shake the chains Turn heartbreak into sweet refrains If the dark won’t let us go We’ll light it up and steal the show Hear the bells in major key Cute catastrophe Funeral blush on porcelain skin Let the end come glittered in Every grave a photo frame Every ache a sweeter name If we fall, then let us fall Like confetti through the hall Black lace Pink tears Soft grave Bright cheers Moonlight Lip gloss Love lives Through loss Sing the requiem, loud and high Candy hearts beneath the sky Ribbons wrapped around the gloom Flowers bloom inside the tomb Black bouquet and sugared flame Call the dead by jeweled name If forever’s dressed in night Then we’ll make it shine so bright Raise the requiem, one more time Make the sorrow taste like wine Sweetest dirge you ever knew Dark as pitch and pink as truth Toll the bell, let it ring Make the mourning glitter sing Black lace, pink light, there we bloom Dancing in a velvet tomb
