Black Dresses
Artists : Spill Canvas, The : Black Dresses
In muddy grass
We stand side by side
With our knuckles interlocked
Black dresses flood the cemetery
In this cliché tragedy
So do as you're instructed
Take this razor
And cut your palms
I'll do the same
Until a river of crimson begins to flow
Now drip your ruby red
Over the casket
A funeral for my once loved youth
My secret is fatally gorgeous
I'd die for you
But in this Bonnie and Clyde kind of romance
Tell me what would you do
My secret is fatally gorgeous
I'd die for you
And when your precious life is at stake
Tell me would you die for me too
The quivering liquids
In your stomach will eat away at
The bad habits that have made you
A real character in the story
Of your now distant life
Goodnight and goodbye
Quickly
In gentle greens we stand side by side
With your head buried in my chest
Black veils send me shivering
The fear that part of me is dying
Now just do as you're instructed and
Take this razor
And cut your palms
I'll do the same
Until a river of crimson begins to flow
Now drip your ruby red
Over the casket
A funeral for my once loved youth
My secret is fatally gorgeous
I'd die for you
But in this Bonnie and Clyde kind of romance
Tell me what would you do
My secret is fatally gorgeous
I'd die for you
And when your precious life is at stake
Tell me would you die for me too
The quivering liquids
In your stomach will eat away at
The bad habits that have made you
A real character in the story
Of your now distant life
Goodnight and goodbye
Quickly
Quickly
Goodbyes are said and roses thrown
And the crowd starts to weep
But the irony of the story is when I fell to my knees
And began clawing at the dirt in front of the tombstone
Of my bashful childhood
With you by my side
You're screaming at the top of your lungs
"Let it go"
And I'm screaming at the top of my lungs
"The ceremony was not proper
There was not enough people
And who picked the music
Those melodies almost made me physically sick"
My secret is fatally gorgeous
I'd die for you
But in this Bonnie and Clyde kind of romance
Tell me what would you do
My secret is fatally gorgeous
I'd die for you
And when your precious life is at stake
Tell me would you die for me too
The quivering liquids
In your stomach will eat away at
The bad habits that have made you
A real character in the story
Of your now distant life
Goodnight and goodbye
Quickly
Goodnight and goodbye
Quickly
