Coffin car, she?s riding a coffin car   People watching her with tender eyes   Friends whispering in kindly words   Children running, waving hands   Telling each other, how pretty she is      Coffin car, she likes to ride a coffin car   Friends making ways for the first time   People throwing kisses for the first time   Showering flowers, ringing bells   Telling each other, how nice she is      Coffin car, she?s riding a coffin car   Wives showing tears for the first time   Husband taking their hats off for the first time   Crushing their handkerchiefs, rubbing their nose   Telling each other, how good she is      Half the world is dead anyway   The other half is asleep and life is killing her   Telling her to join the dead      So ev?ry day, she likes to ride a coffin car   A flower covered coffin car   Pretending she was dead
