Bebe Neuwirth - Just Around the Corner lyrics

My daughter's getting married
I can't believe it's true
She doesn't ask her parents
Before she says "I do"

And what about my husband? Oblivious, naive
This evening's getting serious:
These Ohioans won't leave
But, I can't let these latest problems
Rob me of my bliss
For when I'm scared of true disaster
I remember this:

Death is just around the corner
Waiting patiently to strike
One unplanned electrocution
That's the kind of end i can comprehend

When I'm feeling uninspired
Or I need a little spree i'm reborn knowing
Death is just around the corner
Coming after me

Spoken Get it? Coroner death is
Just around the coroner

Death is just around the corner
Waiting high upon the hill
Someone buried in an avalanche gasp
That's the kind of gig i can really dig

Marriage often disappoints you
Not each husband is a gem so I'll mourn
Knowing death is just around the corner
Coming after them

If life's all plums i'll muddle through some
But when death comes
I hope it's gruesome ha-cha

Some people die from public stoning
Faulty wiring, faulty zoning
Cherry pit's they didn't know
Were there choking noise
It could be by a jungle cat

A slippery mat

A baseball bat

Perhaps an unsuccessful love
Affair crying noise
It could be on a speeding train
It could be underwater
It could be too much Novocain
Or even by your daughter

Perhaps a bad mosquito bite

A title fight

Religious rite

My darlings, it might even be tonight

Death is just around the corner
No one's ever been immune
Turning off a respirator with a simple click
Scandalously quick

I can face a new tomorrow
If I make it past today i feel good saying
Death is just around the corner
Simply on it's way

Death is just around the corner
And you have to heed the call don't ask why
For your death is just around the corner
You and I
Happy being both the mourned and mourner
Say goodbye
Because death is just around the corner
Coming for us all
