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