You may be a cheap date
|
But my therapy's expensive as hell
|
Then you pay a psychic healer who lets you know
|
Things aren't really working out so well
|
Tomorrow's shining off our face
|
Yesterday's shadow is at our back, at our back
|
So why must you always dress in black?
|
|
People, they don't take advice, they only give it
|
And the only way you're ever gonna learn is to live it
|
So what you spent your younger years
|
Parlaying on the wrong side of the track
|
Why must you always dress in black?
|
|
If you have to lie, do it as quickly
|
And as thoroughly as you can
|
This morning I woke up slow feeling like the shell of a man
|
Don't blame me for us, you cried!
|
Oh, cut me some slack
|
And tell me why must you always dress in black?
|
|
She wore high heels, the ones that can pierce your heart
|
Just 'cause you go down in history
|
Doesn't mean you're really all that smart
|
Like Robert E. Lee, you're at your best when under attack
|
Why must you always dress in black?
|
|
You call in sick on Monday
|
Tuesday you show up late
|
Wednesday you left early
|
Thursday you fight with a boss you hate
|
Friday you up and quit
|
Saturday you want your old job back
|
Sunday morning you wake up all dressed in black
|
Why must you always dress in black?
