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 just 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      If you have to lie   Do it quickly and as thoroughly as you can   This morning i woke up slow   Feeling like a shell of a man   Don't blame me for us you cried   Just cut me some slack      Why must you always dress in black?   Why must you always dress in black?      She wore high heels   The ones that can pierce your 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.      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?
