Corpse Bride

Tears to Shed



MAGGOT:
What does that whispy little brat have that you don't have double?

BLACK WIDOW :
She can't hold a candle to the beauty of your smile

CORPSE BRIDE:
How about a pulse?

MAGGOT:
Overrated by a mile

BLACK WIDOW:
Overbearing

MAGGOT:
Overblown

MAGGOT AND BLACK WIDOW:
If he only knew the you that we know


BLACK WIDOW:
And that silly little creature isn't wearing his ring

MAGGOT:
And she doesn't play piano

MAGGOT AND BLACK WIDOW:
Or dance

MAGGOT:
Or sing

MAGGOT AND BLACK WIDOW:
No she doesn't compare

CORPSE BRIDE:
But she still breathes air

BLACK WIDOW:
Who cares?

MAGGOT:
Unimportant

BLACK WIDOW:
Overrated

MAGGOT:
Overblown

MAGGOT AND BLACK WIDOW:
If only he could see
How special you can be
If he only knew the you that we know

CORPSE BRIDE:
If I touch a burning candle I can feel no pain
If you cut me with a knife it's still the same
And I know her heart is beating
And I know that I am dead
Yet the pain here that I feel
Try and tell me it's not real
For it seems that I still have a tear to shed

MAGGOT:
The sure redeeming feature
From that little creature
Is that she's alive

BLACK WIDOW:
Overrated

MAGGOT:
Overblown

BLACK WIDOW:
Everybody know that's just a temporary state
Which is cured very quickly when we meet our fate

MAGGOT:
Who cares?

BLACK WIDOW:
Unimportant

MAGGOT:
Overrated

BLACK WIDOW:
Overblown

MAGGOT AND BLACK WIDOW:
If only he could see
How special you can be
If he only knew the you that we know

CORPSE BRIDE:
If I touch a burning candle I can feel no pain
In the ice or in the wun it's all the same
Yet I feel my heart is acheing
Though it doesn't beat it's breaking
And the pain here that I feel
Try and tell me it's not real
I know that I am dead
Yet it seems that I still have some tears to shed
