Homicide Dresser
Billy Harner Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And leave your heart lying in the street
Forty eyeballs blinking when she walks by
It's so upsetting I'm telling you no lie
She's a homicide dresser
Yes, she is
Yes, she is
Here she comes
There's she goes
My My My My My
She's a homicide dresser
She's a homicide dresser
Mini skirt about an inch above her knee
What she's got is free for you to see
Blue stockings looking like a fish net
She knocks stopping traffic ruin your home?
She's a homicide dresser
Yes, she is
Yes, she is
Here she comes
My My My My My street
There's she goes
My My My My My
She's a homicide dresser
She's a homicide dresser
I said
I said
Here she comes
My My My My My street
There's she goes
My My My My My
She's a homicide dresser
She's a homicide dresser
She's been killing my dirt?
She's been killing my dirt?
She's rooftop looker
