Overcoat lyrics
When I was young I was left to fend for myself
A latchkey leaves the door open to anyone else
I met the brothers out behind Montgomery Mall
Launching long fluorescent tubes up against the wall
Take me there, take me there
Oh, take me anywhere
Let me be by your side, in revolt
Let me wear your overcoat
We fluttered through junior high like a cloud
Got grounded in tenth against a chain link fence
They were sent away to trade school when summer set
I got left once again to fend for myself
Take me there, take me there
Oh, take me anywhere
Let me be by your side, don't say no
Let me wear your overcoat
She rose Olympic from out of the pool
The pinking shears in her hand bright like a dagger
I stood before her in nothing but my overcoat
Held up my sleeve torn and tattered
Take me there, take me there
Oh, take me anywhere
Let me be by your side, don't say no
Let me keep my overcoat
