Clean White Dress Lyrics

A clean white dress

And new perfume

It's the midnight murder

Of the afternoon

You'll be on the news tonight

You had your heart set

On a Sunday wedding

Well this just in

It was your beheading

No bride, no groom

At your funeral

You're just one step closer

Towards cardiac arrest

And these chalk lines

Only prove that you're a mess

We're all trying too hard

Like dramatic actors

In some midday soap

Trying to give me the fact

They need someone to confirm

Well here's me hanging up

Without saying goodbye

Cause the fact is that

She's still alive

A bride

A groom

And no funeral in sight

Oh, I tell you I had a friend

She was only in it for the helping hand

But I'm not that kind of guy

This ain't no love sick lullaby

Oh, I tell you I had a friend

She was only in it for the helping hand

But I'm not that kind of guy

This ain't no love sick lullaby

Must have been something I said

Must have been something she read

Off the bathroom stall

Must have been something I said

Must have been something she read

Off the bathroom stall

A clean white dress

And new perfume

It's the midnight murder

Of the afternoon

You'll be on the news tonight

You had your heart set on a Sunday wedding

Without saying goodbye

And these chalk lines only prove that you're a mess

Still alive
