Long Black Dress

Official lyrics from the album
Back In The Blonde
(© Universal Music 2000)

I'm wearing you like a long black dress
And sometimes you reveal too much
My curves and proportions
my soul underneath
maybe I should've left you in the attic
You're drying off the sweat
running down my back
Absorbing my scent into your fabric
I'm wearing you like a long black dress
You cover me with passion
hide me in your secrecy
Making me your haunted queen
Joining my every move
And I'm wearing you like a long black dress
And in moments like these
you're not warm enough
My thoughts send shivers down my spine
And you are full of holes and gaps
And even though you're made
of velvet and silk
You suddenly seem black as the night
When I know you're actually blue
I'm wearing you like a long black dress
You cover me with passion
hide me in your secrecy
Making me your haunted queen
Joining my every move
I'm wearing you like a long black dress
And sometimes it all gets so tense
And you seem too tight to fit me right
Squeezing me out of things to say
I'm trying to strip but you stick on my back
Like a hot summer day
and I go sit in the shadows
I'm wearing you like a long black dress
You cover me with passion
hide me in your secrecy
Making me your haunted queen
Joining my every move
