Lyrics Burying the Bunny - Shriekback

Congratulations on your January bride
She was delightful and your threnody was stunning
The money fizzing and the gashes on your side
A revelation but we should've seen it coming

Okay, all right
They're at the cemetery burying the bunny
Okay, don't fight
Let's get it over with, burying the bunny

The implications of the terrifying signs
Are devastating but I wouldn't really worry
Life in the buzzard house, the blizzard in the spine
It gets you nowhere baby, nowhere in a hurry

Okay, all right
Down at the cemetery burying the bunny
Okay, don't fight
Can be quite operatic, burying the bunny

She still looks so fluffy lying there
Wearing her grandmother's earrings, gardenia in her hair
There ain't no question, she was dead when she arrived
You can't be sentimental, you're just glad that you survived

This benediction isn't something I designed
It was a while ago before I felt so sunny
It's all ridiculous, to that I am resigned
And that intensity is very very funny

Okay, all right
Down at the cemetery burying the bunny
Okay, don't fight
Can be quite operatic, burying the bunny

Bury the bunny but it rises again
Bury the bunny but it rises again
Bury the bunny but it rises again
Bury the bunny but it rises again
Bury the bunny but it rises again
Bury the bunny but it rises again
