Verse 1
You were unaware that
diamonds came with debt
Ironic sure but that's the way it
is got my vows off the internet
You say crying weakens my immune system
But don't forget that if you pray for me
I'll pray for you and cash flow too why
not? I said if you pray for me i'll pray
for you and cash flow too why not?
Chorus 1
It was a black wedding
you could hear the organs not
The violins or the words
the pope was saying
It was a black wedding you
could hear the organs but
No drunken snoring
or real hallelujahs
Telling people
stories of the devil
But most said they
wouldn't last a winter
It was a black wedding
Your girl has
blessings all around
Interlude
Verse 2
So you're finally
viewing this at 5 foot 6
it's not roses like your mama said
We're not spoon fed anymore
So you gonna tell
All our kids I was an accident
Ironic true but it's the
way you act when you're upset
So let's take this outside
We see our mirrors from outside
and he said we are what we cry
we stay hidden for all our lives
Chorus 2
It was a black wedding
you could hear the organs not
The violins or the words
the pope was saying
It was a black wedding you
could hear the organs but
No drunken snoring
or real hallelujahs
Telling people
stories of the devil
But most said they
wouldn't last a winter
It was a black wedding
Your girl has
blessings all around

What else is there to
know when our bible's here?
What else is there to
know when our bible's here?
There are no lies to find
when the page is bare
What else is there to know
when your tax is shared?
Verse 3
outside we're seeing
mirrors from outside
and he said we
are what we tried
we stay hidden all our lives
Chorus 3
It was a black wedding
You could heard the organs
words the pope was saying
It was a black wedding
you could hear the organs but
no drunken snoring
or real hallelujahs
The gravedigger said
it's his cathedral
We drank what we wanted
ike at the wedding supper
It was a black wedding
Your girl has
blessings all around
(What else is to know
when the bible tears)
Outro
It was a black wedding
Your girl has

(What else is to know
when the taxes shared)
It was a black wedding
Your girl has
blessings all around
