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>
