Maraschino-Red Dress $8.99 at Goodwill

Those long afternoons When nobody was home but me Sun is shining but I dwell in shadow Maraschino-red dress, $8.99 at Goodwill I was looking over my shoulder At the register trying not to be seen Looking over my shoulder at all I had appointments today, errands to run I watch the hours drain away I watch the hours drain away Mid-grade bourbon sitting in the cabinet This day's shot anyway And a couple of beers left from two nights ago I am hideous and no-one can ever know When the sun gets low-down, bloody and red I tie a little knot at the centre of my head I don't think I'll be showing up At synagogue at quarter past seven Sometimes you go through hell and you Never get to heaven Sometimes you go through hell and you Never get to heaven But I thank God Who gives strength to the weary I thank God Who gives strength to the weary --- Maraschino-Red Dress $8.99 at Goodwill - Ezra Furman
