about

Based on "The White Satin Evening Gown" from "Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark" by Alvin Schwartz and Stephen Gammell.

lyrics

Got myself a new gold band
Got myself a diamond ring
Got myself a wedding dress
And it fits like a brand-new thing
Laid upon the midnight grass
He’s gonna pay a price to play
I only had to take his hand
No one is gonna touch my skin

I just wanna try it on…

I know I’ve got a useful part
Don’t wanna waste it on tonight
I know what’s in the big black book
Nothing’s gonna change my mind

I just wanna try it on

I didn’t know there was poison in my satin seams
It’s just one night. It’s just one kiss. It’s just my dress.

Maybe someday they will read it in the paper
They won’t even have to think
All the words come in real big sizes
Over and over in their head

I just want to try it on

I got myself a wedding dress
Who’s gonna be my date tonight?
I only had to take his hand
No one was supposed to touch my skin

I just want to try it on
I don’t want to die tonight
