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
