Testo Overcoats - John Hiatt
Testo della canzone Overcoats (John Hiatt), tratta dall'album Overcoats
Well I wandered into the house of mirrors
With a camera and an old shotgun
I was taking some pictures of me and my fears
And exploding them one by one
When all of a sudden, much to my surprise
A lady with a fine tooth comb
Struck a match up to my face and said
"Get out of this place
You better leave your ugly truth alone"
Overcoats, overcoats
I ain't never heard you sing
Overcoats, overcoats
Take off that silly thing
Well I looked her in the eye with a slave-like stare
And said, "I'm here to talk about the rent"
Well she did a double flip, then she buttoned up her lip
And went and hid in the oxygen tent
Well the image shriveled up and the air got thin
As she smiled from behind the mask
She said, "You can stay here all night
But it's gonna cost you your life
If I was you, I would be leaving fast"
Overcoats, overcoats
I ain't never heard you sing
Overcoats, overcoats
Take off that silly thing
Now I didn't come for information
No, I read the daily news
It's carved on everybody's face
But I'm without illumination
Yes, I think we blew a fuse
And I'd be much obliged if you could help me
Locate the place
Well at this she seemed quite baffled
And like a little girl
She took off her wedding gown
Then she stood before the mirror
And it all came clear
She was married to the lost and found
So I left her there sleeping in her honeymoon
And I made it through the antidote
Well the procedure is brief
If you wanna see what's underneath
You gotta take off that overcoat
Overcoats, overcoats
I ain't never heard you sing
Overcoats, overcoats
Take off that silly thing
Why don't you take off that silly thing?
I wish you'd just take off that silly thing
