[Verse 1]
Make sure I look good
In a casket
Dress me up real nice
Sure, I might be dead
But at least I'm attractive
And you're gonna miss me tonight

[Chorus]
I want you to play good music at my funeral
Nobody will pay attention till I'm here no more
I want you to stay reminiscent
Of the beat in my heart
I want you to play
I want you to play

I want you to play good music at my funeral
Nobody will pay attention till I'm here no more
I want you to stay reminiscent
Of the beat in my heart
I want you to play
I want you to play

[Verse 2]
Life is just a breath
A passing shadow
You might run out of time
Yeah, I'm all alone
Write this song on my tombstone
Maybe I'll be recognized
[Chorus]
I want you to play good music at my funeral
Nobody will pay attention till I'm here no more
I want you to stay reminiscent
Of the beat in my heart
I want you to play
I want you to play

I want you to play good music at my funeral
Nobody will pay attention till I'm here no more
I want you to stay reminiscent
Of the beat in my heart
I want you to play
I want you to play

[Bridge]
Somehow only death wakes us up to life
Now you notice those you never gave the time
Find the meaning to this empty life
Pay attention tonight

[Chorus]
I want you to play good music at my funeral
Nobody will pay attention till I'm here no more
I want you to stay reminiscent
To the beat in my heart
I want you to play
I want you to play
I want you to play good music at my funeral
Nobody will pay attention till I'm here no more
I want you to stay reminiscent
Of the beat in my heart
I want you to play
I want you to play
