Lyrics
0:08I come from a place where every name
0:11And every face seem so familiar
0:16In came Miss Progress in her black dress
0:18Look at the mess she is a killer
0:23Much like you and I
0:24In every case that's made
0:26There has to be a traitor
0:30It's me this time
0:31And I'm trading fun for right
0:32Will I regret the notion later
0:38Geraldine's a name that comes to mind
0:40When I go back to reminiscing
0:45Abilene's a woman for my childhood
0:47I spent the evenings kissing
0:52I'm a fool for dreaming her alive
0:55And loving something cold and rocky
0:59The homophobic gentlemen built barricades
1:02But their efforts couldn't stop me
1:07In came Miss Progress in her black dress
1:09Look at the mess she is a killer
1:14In came Miss Progress in her black dress
1:16Look at the mess she is a killer
1:21In came Miss Progress in her black dress
1:24Look at the mess she is a killer
1:27Oh oh oh
I come from a place where every name And every face seem so familiar In came Miss Progress in her black dress Look at the mess she is a killer Much like you and I In every case that's made There has to be a traitor It's me this time And I'm trading fun for right Will I regret the notion later Geraldine's a name that comes to mind When I go back to reminiscing Abilene's a woman for my childhood I spent the evenings kissing I'm a fool for dreaming her alive And loving something cold and rocky The homophobic gentlemen built barricades But their efforts couldn't stop me In came Miss Progress in her black dress Look at the mess she is a killer In came Miss Progress in her black dress Look at the mess she is a killer In came Miss Progress in her black dress Look at the mess she is a killer Oh oh oh
