Description
This song was written after a friend and fellow musician in Phoenix, AZ suddenly overdosed on Opiates. The small "punk/new wave" music scene in the city was shaken. My band at the time (The Nervous) was top of the heap; and the song became an anthem, a way to empower mass grieving. It was also a #1 local radio hit for 8 weeks. Only 1000 singles were made. I have remixed it here.
Lyrics
BLACK DRESS Black Dress Black Dress Black Dress Black Dress So tired Can't sleep a wink So numb Can't even think I had a lot to say once But someone let him die I thought I had to say once But I let it slip by Oh no I'm not a teacher Oh no I never learned that lesson Oh no I'm not a preacher Oh no I never felt that strong Oh no I'll put a black dress on All gone The boy drank his milk All wasted All lined with silk I tried to listen once I held out my hand I might'a got the message wrong He couldn't even stand chorus ~instrumental break~ repeat chorus c1981KimAyrieMorris
