Lyrics
You may be a cheap date
But my therapy's expensive as hell
Then you pay a psychic healer who lets you
Know things aren't really working out so well
Tomorrow shining off her face
Yesterday's shadows at our back
At our back
So why must you always dress in black?
People they don't take advice
They only give it
And the only way you're ever gonna learn
Is to live it
So what you spent your younger years
Parlaying on the wrong side of the track
Of the track
Well why must you always dress in black?
If you have to lie do it quickly and as thoroughly as you can
If you can
This morning I woke up slow
Feeling like the shell of a man
Don't blame me for us you cry
Oh cut me some slack
Cut me some slack
And tell me why must you always dress in black?
She wore high heels
The ones that could pierce your heart
Pierce your heart
Just 'cause you broke down in history
Doesn't mean you're really all that smart
Like Robert E. Lee you're at your best
When under attack
Under attack
Why must you always dress in black?
You call in sick on Monday
Tuesday you show up late
Wednesday you left early
Thursday you fight with the boss you hate
Friday you up and quit
Saturday you want your old job back
Old job back
But Sunday morning you wake up
Oh dressed in black
Why must you always dress in black?
