I was struck by lightning ...
Edited on Mon Jun-22-09 01:21 PM by Richardo
...Walkin' down the street
I was hit by something last night in my sleep
It's a dead man's party
Who could ask for more
Everybody's comin', leave your body at the door
Leave your body and soul at the door . . .
(Don't run away it's only me)

All dressed up with nowhere to go
Walkin' with a dead man
Waitin' for an invitation to arrive
With a dead man . . . Dead Man . . .

Got my best suit and my tie
Shiny silver dollar on either eye
I hear the chauffeur comin' to the door
Says there's room for maybe just one more . . .

CHORUS

Don't run away it's only me
Don't be afraid of what you can't see
Don't run away it's only me . . .



I like the extended version on Best O' Boingo. Starts with the horn section only, playing the backing part to the chorus.

I usually edit a post 6-7 times because of my faulty left handed dexterity.

10. Granted, all Boingo is good Boingo
But I would argue that the original of Goodbye Goodbye from the Fast Times at Ridgemont High soundtrack is a grip better.
