Hey hey hey

Why is it always this way?

Last time I saw her alive

She was wavin', wavin' bye bye

She was contemplating suicide

Now she's lying

In a bottle of formaldehyde

And oh, I just don't know

Why I can't let her go

Oh I just don't know

Hey hey hey

Why is it always this way?

Last time I saw her alive

She was going to the wash and dry

She was outside hitchin' a ride

Now she's lying

In a bottle of formaldehyde.
