Shoes And Dress That Alice Wore lyrics
I'm humming as I walk this house and do my daily chores
When I put the broom away I see the dress
that Alice wore
It's hanging in the closet sadly sagging
without form
Empty dress there in the closet held a body
soft and warm
Shoes and dress that Alice wore
It's the dress she wore the night she caught me lying there beside
Some strange woman meaning nothing
just some bones and hair and hide
I could not explain it to her and I cannot
to this day
Now I stand here staring at the dress she wore to go away
Shoes and dress that Alice wore
And the shoes are red and shiny and they're modest in the heel
And the dress a bad investment and the color could be teal
She went screaming from thr room where
I lay blinking in the nude
With the woman there beside me saying
"Ain't this woman rude."
Shoes and dress that Alice wore
So I asked the undertaker in a private kind of way
Before you close the casket when our friends
have gone away
If it's not too strange to reason I would
make one last request
Since it all goes in the round I'd lick to
have the shoes and dress
Shoes and dress that Alice wore
(Repeat First Verse)
