Sing your song now, Genevieve
You've gathered quite a crowd
Remember not to miss a note
Remember to sing loud
Sing your song now, Genevieve
The people want to know
If the music's bittersweet
And how the chorus goes

Come, sing your song now, Genevieve
Your friends don't have all day
And they all want to weep and mourn
About the words you say
Come, sing your song now Genevieve
We've been waiting for so long
And we all want to lose our minds
Over your sorry song

It doesn't matter if you fall flat
It doesn't matter the key
As long as it's in minor and
The meaning's clear to me
The words like blades will find our skin
And poison find our ears
Because we all hate our petty sins
Committed through the years

Don't you see you are the one
To sing this tragic tune
For all your decorated features
Shine like winter's moon
Your pale lips are soft enough
To speak the coming words
And when you use your gentle voice
You silence bees and birds

And Genevieve please understand
And Genevieve don't cry
For Genevieve you know our part
You know we all must die
After you've delivered every
Funeral hymn and song
The music will destroy our hearts
And we will say so long

So Genevieve, it's time to sing
Sing bravely and sing true
Try to forget what we all meant
We meant so much to you
Please sing your song now, Genevieve
Let your voice pierce waiting air
Cause we're calling for a suicide
And your poignant song is here

Now boys and girls, fall silent
Till this tragic song is done
Hear her altruistic voice,
My Genevieve's begun
