Lyrics Dollar Dress - Jon Langford

She is dancing with death, in a dollar dress
She is dancing with death, in a dollar dress
In a dollar dress

There's a box in an alley in a rundown northern town
A key on a shelf and you can look inside
And there's a song that will pick you up & spin you round
A photograph and a letter left behind

Can you prove that you're alive
Do you know where you've been today
You're sewn into the fabric of your life
Washed and mended, worn away

She is dancing with death, in a dollar dress
She is dancing with death, in a dollar dress
In a dollar dress

The hooter sounds and the whole town shakes again
A line of ghosts clock out at the factory gate
Cousins, sisters and brothers spirit it home
Fill the streets and make the traffic wait

Well the fly still flies
If the wind don't blow today
It's sewn into the fabric of your life
Washed and mended, worn away

She is dancing with death, in a dollar dress
She is dancing with death, in a dollar dress
In a dollar dress
