I woke up this morning
she's out of my door
I woke up this morning
someone knocked on my door
I can't believe, today
Marianne's skin turned gray
I got up made of stone
is Mary really gone?
I washed my skin with cold water
to welcome the blues
lord bless my soul
life is short in this world
I went with my family
To the mortuary
we met the funeral manager
to talk about money
he said: even death has a price
and if you want her respect, pay twice
I asked the man
to show me Marianne
a door opened
her body waiting for the ground
I look into her eyes
her soul was willing to arise
