lyrics

Waited by my phone, you never rang / Waited by mailbox in the rain
Waited so long I went insane / But you’re about to know my name….

YOU TRIED TO KEEP ME OUT / But I’m a slow learner
SO I’M COMING IN / I’m coming in from this weather
I’M DRESSED TO KILL / Dressed to kill in red leather
NOW YOU CAN ALL / Now you can all die together

I’ll just slip in through this here door / Maybe join you rich swells on the dance floor
Soon as I walked in y’all went insane / You must already know my name…

OH LOOK AT YOU / All playing dress up together
ALL IN A ROW / Two hundred pigs of a feather
I’M DRESSED TO KILL/ And I’m dressed to kill in red leather
SO LET’S HAVE A DRINK / Now you can all die together

You know who I am and who I ain’t, I’m the patron saint of party crashers
Not that it matters, You should’ve locked your windows and put away your ladders
Hey lets all sit down and have a drink. You raise your glass, I’ll raise my flask
Here’s to your health...now go to hell
