Spill Canvas - Black Dresses lyrics

rate me

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
