You've started dressing up

The mood is ruined by the cheapest wine

That's spilling on your skirt



She's dressed to kill

I hope this was within her will

Her body's still



Moved north from New York

But the city life is tugging at her soul

Served whisky to the drunks that haunt the night

Her life is getting old



She's dressed to kill

I hope this was within her will

Her body's still



She wanted more than he could pay

But I was standing beside her



Trading the life she loved for something less

The guilt is setting in

Paying thebills by taking off her dress

The pressure's worn her thin

Pop in the pills to nullify the stress

It's showing through her skin



She's dressed to kill

I hope this was within her will

Her body's still



She wanted more than he could pay

But I was standing beside her

(Standing beside her)

She bit off more than she could take

And now she's fed to the fire



Soft as the petal

Tough as the thorn



She wanted more than he could pay

But I was standing beside her

(Standing beside her)

She bit off more than she could take

And now she's fed to the fire

(Fed to the fire)

Fed to the fire

(Fed to the fire)



She wanted more than he could pay

But I was standing beside her

(Standing beside her)

She bit off more than she could take

And now she's fed to the fire

(Fed to the fire)



(She wanted more)

Fed to the fire

(She wanted more)

Fed to the fire
