Lyrics

I'm last night's party dress

Ripped seams and torn fishnets

I'm worn out and full of violence

The air is wavy with the heat

And I can't breathe

In our silent war we pass politely

I'm last night's party dress

Ripped seams and torn fishnets

I'm worn out and full of violence

Life should be a choice we make

Not echoes of a past mistake

How do we let go

When aching is all we know

I'm last night's party dress

Ripped seams and torn fishnets

I'm worn out and full of violence

Tip toeing across famililar floors

Would hate to have to wake you

Have a conversation or

Pretend I'm even interested

Slippin through the door

Even though the heat is on

I'm freezing from the war

Strangers on a first name basis I admit

I'd rather crack a brew or two and just as soon forget

Lose my kicks, take of my hat

Flick on the tube, watch the news

Every night and nothing's new with that

Living room got dusty window's begging for a wiping

Some kind of attention

Even breaking from a fight when

Throwing dishes

Normal acts of passion

That may just happen

When you love somebody vicious

But it's pictures hanging crooked and garbage in the can

Overflowing like a river

Where's the give a damn

The ghost of you is living in the flesh

Sometimes I even miss us I guess

I'm last night's party dress

(And I'm yesterday's news)

Ripped seams and torn fishnets

(An old pair of socks

An old pair of shoes)

I'm worn out and full of violence

(Whistlin the blues)
