Maraschino Red Dress $8.99 at Goodwill

[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
I had appointments today
Errands to run (Errands to run)
I watch the hours drain away
I watch the hours drain away

[Verse 3]
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 center of my head
I don't think I'll be showing up
At synagogue at quarter past seven

[Verse 4]
Sometimes you go through hell and you
Never get to heaven
Sometimes you go through hell and you
Never get to heaven

[Verse 5]
But I thank God
Who gives strength to the weary
I thank God
Who gives strength to the weary
