Black Lipstick

lyrics

it's a bad idea to say you love me then try to tell me who I am
it's a bad idea to say you love me then try to tell me who I am
cause you might think that I can't get along without you
but I assure you that I can
black lipstick, nails, and eyelids, you can bury me with my black dress on

it's a bad idea to get up in my face and try to tell me what to wear
it's a bad idea to get up in my face and try to tell me what to wear
you might cite some rule of some kind of law
but I obviously don't care
black lipstick, nails, and eyelids, you can bury me with my black dress on

black lipstick, nails, and eyelids, you can bury me with my black dress on
black lipstick, nails, and eyelids, and my long black dress
and don't address me as a man with some kind of messed-up kink
no one asked you what you think

it's a bad idea to visit my grave and try to tell me who I was
it's a bad idea to visit my grave and try to tell me who I was
cause if you contradict what I said over and over and over
then I'll haunt you till you're dust
black lipstick, nails, and eyelids, and my long beard, and my black dress on
