"She was the prettiest corpse in the county..." She was homecoming queen in '59 With a crown of roses and a broken spine I found her waiting by the mausoleum gate Said "honey, don't worry - death can wait" She don't breathe, she don't blink She smells a little funny but whatcha gonna think Dead girls don't scream They just watch with those beautiful eyes Dead girls don't dream They just stare at the midnight skies She's cold as the grave but she's MINE tonight Dead girls don't scream - they just hold you tight The preacher man ran when he saw her face Left his bible and his tie in the parking space But I took her dancing down by the old creek bed The best date I ever had - and baby, she's dead She don't talk, she don't fight She just tilts her head and smiles in the pale moonlight Dead girls don't scream They just watch with those beautiful eyes Dead girls don't dream They just stare at the midnight skies She's cold as the grave but she's MINE tonight Dead girls don't scream - they just hold you tight The mortician said "son, let her go" The sheriff said "boy, whaddya think you know" But when she reaches out her pale white hand - tell me, what red-blooded American man could Dead girls don't scream They just watch with those beautiful eyes Dead girls don't dream They just smile when the last cat cries She's cold as the grave, she's a Saturday night Dead girls don't scream THEY JUST HOLD YOU TIGHT!
