Dead & Bloated (Demo) Lyrics

[Intro]
I am smelling like a rose
That somebody gave me
On my birthday deathbed
I am smelling like the rose
That somebody gave me
On my birthday deathbed

[Verse 1]
I am smelling like a rose
That somebody gave me
On my birthday deathbed
I am smelling like a rose
That somebody gave me
'Cause I'm dead and bloated

[Chorus]
Oh-oh, yeah-yeah, and she says it's natural
I feel I've come of age
When she peeks I start to run
Oh-oh, yeah-yeah, and she says it's natural
I feel I've come of age
When she peeks I start to run

[Post-Chorus]
You can't swallow what I'm thinking
You can't swallow what I'm thinking
[Verse 2]
I am smelling like a rose
That somebody gave me
On my birthday deathbed
I am trampled under sole of
Another man's shoes
Guess I walked too softly

[Chorus]
Oh-oh, yeah-yeah, and she says it's natural
I feel I've come of age
When she peeks I start to run
Oh-oh, yeah-yeah, and she says it's natural
I feel I've come of age
When she peeks I start to run

[Post-Chorus]
You can't swallow what I'm thinking
You can't swallow what I'm thinking

[Bridge]
I run through the years
Thinkin' 'bout tomorrow
Thinkin' 'bout tomorrow
I run through the years
Thinkin' 'bout tomorrow
Thinkin' 'bout tomorrow
[Verse 1]
I am smelling like a rose
That somebody gave me
On my birthday deathbed
I am smelling like a rose
That somebody gave me
'Cause I'm dead and bloated

[Bridge]
I run through the years
Thinkin' 'bout tomorrow
Thinkin' 'bout tomorrow
I run through the years
Thinkin' 'bout tomorrow
Thinkin' 'bout tomorrow

I run through the years
Thinkin' 'bout tomorrow
Thinkin' 'bout tomorrow
I run through the years
Thinkin' 'bout tomorrow
Thinkin' 'bout tomorrow

[Outro]
I am smelling like a rose
That somebody gave me
On my birthday deathbed
I am smelling like a rose
That somebody gave me
Somebody gave me
Somebody gave me
On my birthday deathbed

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
