Black Dresses Lyrics

Black Dresses lyrics

In muddy grass we stand side by side 

With our knuckles interlocked 

Black dresses flood the cemetery 

In this cliche tragedy 



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 

But 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 



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 

But 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 

But 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
