That girl in black.... and other fashion colors

You've heard about her. Most likely you've even seen her. I hear she gets around.

Instant Karma's Gonna Get You

I thought I had come across the most surreal song lyric ever... "instant karma, all covered in cake"

Alas, it is not. But would it not totally rock, if true?

Whether the band is good, bad, or otherwise... I do not know. All I know is they have a song on the Underworld: Evolution soundtrack, currently residing in my truck stereo. Yes, it is time to rotate out the CD. Yes, it has been playing for several consecutive days. The girl in black-- she is not so good with the changing of the music. So when even *I* know it is time for something new, it has been too long.


My Chemical Romance -- To The End
from the album "Three Cheers for (something or other)", 2004
He calls the mansion not a house, but a tomb.
He's always choking from the stench and the fume.
The wedding party all collapsed in the room.
So send my resignation to the bride and the groom.

Let's go down!
This elevator only goes up to ten.
He's not around, he's always looking at men
Down by the pool.
He doesn't have many friends as they are.
Face down and bloated snap a shot with the lens.

If you marry me,
would you bury me?
Would you carry me to the end?

So say goodbye to the vows you take.
And say goodbye to the life you make.
And say goodbye to the heart you break.
And all the cyanide you drank.

She keeps a picture of the body she lends.
Got nasty blisters from the money she spends.
She's got a life of her own
And it shows by the Benz
she drives at 90 by the Barbies and Kens.

If you ever say never too late.
I'll forget all the diamonds you ate.
Lost in coma and covered in cake.
(Unfortunately, *not* "instant karma, all covered in cake")
Increase the medication.
Share the vows at the wake.
Kiss the bride.

If you marry me,
would you bury me?
Would you carry me to the end?

So say goodbye to the vows you take.
And say goodbye to the life you make.
And say goodbye to the heart you break.
And all the cyanide you drank.

So say goodbye to the last parade.
And walk away from the choice you made.
And say goodnight to the heart you break.
And all the cyanide you drank.

[instrumental]

So say goodbye to the vows you take.
And say goodbye to the life you make.
And say goodbye to the heart you break.
And all the cyanide you drank.

So say goodbye to the last parade.
And walk away from the choice you made.
And say goodnight to the heart you break.
And all the cyanide you drank.

To the last parade
Well the parties fade
And the choice you made
To the end

You must feel like I did when I realized it wasn't:

"Carry a Lazer Down the Road that I Must Travel."
