Black Dresses Lyrics
The Spill Canvas - Black Dresses
In muddy grass we stand side by side,
With our knuckles enlocked,
Black dresses fly the cemetary
In this cliche tragedy,
So do as you're instructed...
Take this razor, and cut your palms,
I'll do the same, until the 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 this story of your now-distant life,
Good night and good-bye, quickly...
In gentle greens we stand side by side,
With your head buried in my chest,
Black veils sent me shivering,
I 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 the 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 this story of your now-distant life,
Good night and good-bye, quickly, quickly...
Good-byes 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 (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 this story of your now-distant life,
Good night and good-bye, quickly,
Good night and good-bye, quickly...
