I'll come for everyone in my long black dress,
I'll comfort everyone when the _____ rest
When the long time had evened out,

I'll come for everyone in my long black dress,
I'll comfort everyone when the _____ rest.

I'll come for everyone in my long black dress,
I'll comfort everyone when the _____ rest
