The Funeral Party

The Cure are an English rock band formed in Crawley, West Sussex in 1976. The band has experienced several line-up changes, with frontman, vocalist, guitarist and principal songwriter Robert Smith being the only constant member. The Cure first began releasing music in the late 1970s with its debut album Three Imaginary Boys (1979); this, along with several early singles, placed the band as part of the post-punk and New Wave movements that had sprung up in the wake of the punk rock revolution in the United Kingdom. During the early 1980s, the band's increasingly dark and tormented music helped form the gothic rock genre. more »

Two pale figures 
Ache in silence 
Timeless 
In the quiet ground 
Side by side 
In age and sadness 
I watched 
And acted wordlessly 
As piece by piece 
You performed your story 
Moving through an unknown past 
Dancing at the funeral party 

Memories of children's dreams 
Lie lifeless 
Fading 
Lifeless 
Hand in hand with fear and shadows 
Crying at the funeral party 

I heard a song 
And turned away 
As piece by piece 
You performed your story 
Noiselessly across the floor 
Dancing at the funeral party
