You may be a cheap date

But my therapy's expensive as hell

Then you pay a psychic healer who let's you know

Things aren't working out so well

Tommorow's shining off our face

Yesterday's shadow's at our back

Why must you always dress in black?

People 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

Why must you always dress in black?

If you have to lie

Do it quickly and as thoroughly as you can

As you can

This morning i woke up slow

Feeling like a shell of a man

Don't blame me for us you cried

Oh, cut me some slack

Cut me some slack

And tell me

Why, why must you always dress in black?

She wore high heels

The ones that can pierce your heart.

Pierce you heart

Just 'cause you go down in history

Doesn't mean your really all that smart.

Like Robert E. Lee 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 a boss you hate

Friday you up and quit

Saturday you want your old job back

Sunday morning you wake up

All dressed in black

Why must you always dress in black?
