Song Lyrics

Through a combination of alcohol
and the chemicals you'd consumed,
laid a broken path before a stoic man.
The stars became your roof.
So be proud. Be proud.
This is your big debut kid.
Be proud. Be proud.
You've got a crowd to see you through this.

Set the stage.
Displayed you laid there cold,
then came the eulogies.
I thought you'd like to know

You barely knew us.
You were out of touch
out of touch for so long.
You filled the room up
and none of us
knew we cared til you're gone.

Be proud. Be proud.
This is your big debut kid.
Be proud. Be proud.
We got a crowd to see you through this.

They found you face down on the floor.
You were somebody else the night before.
Another slip up. Another fall.
You'd be searching your soul for something more.

You barely knew us.
You were out of touch
out of touch for so long.
You filled the room up,
and none of us
knew we cared til you're gone.

The funeral was in full bloom.
You always knew how to fill a room.
The funeral was in full bloom,
to send you home

and while the crowd remained composed,
they put a trophy on your stone.
I guess you found a place to rest those bones....
and while the crowd remained composed,
they put your crown upon your throne.
I guess you found a place to rest those bones...

You barely knew us.
You were out of touch
out of touch for so long.
You filled the room up,
and none of us
knew we cared til you're gone

and everyone came in colours.
Everyone came in colours.
