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 five, 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 did not 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've been better
She could've worn a different sweater
This is her living funeral tonight
