When I was dead, I wore a strong perfume
When I was dead, I never left the room
And I saw the apples hanging, like moments in the orchard
But falling into action; the moment soon is over; no returns
When I was dead, I wasn't interested in sex
I didn't even care what happened next
I was free as a penny whistle, and silent as the glove
I wasn't me to speak of, just a thousand ancient feelings
That vanished into nothing; into love
When I was dead, somebody took my hand (When I was dead)
I couldn't see his face; I took his hand (I couldn't see)
And the Devil asked me to supper; he said
Careful with the spoons!
And God said: Oh, ignore him! I've got all your albums
I said: Yes, but who's got all the tunes?
When I was dead
When I was dead
When I was dead
When I was dead
When I Was Dead
