Capo 1
[Intro]
[Verse 1]
In natural selection
I ve avoided all detection
And the tender bits underneath
All with window dressing and
Calculated guessing
And a bark bigger than my teeth
[Chorus]
It was the suit that got me the gig
It was the tear that got me the girl
I m a sheep in this wolf s clothing
I m a picture that I m holding
Of someone who is cool
[Verse 2]
Soul like a thimble
Swallowed up in symbols
Wanting what I don t need
If sympathy s the answer
I ll have temporary cancer
But that s not what I ll have you believe
[Chorus]
It was the suit that got me the gig
It was the tear that got me the girl
I m a sheep in this wolf s clothing
I m a picture that I m holding
Of someone who is cool
Someone who is cool
Of someone who is cool
Someone who is cool
[Solo]
[Verse 3]
Close but kind of meatless
Like actors who play Jesus
In movies of the week
What other people wish for
Oozes from my every pore
I m the coffee not the sleep
[Chorus]
And I m the song about the song
That once said something new
I m a scandal that s unfolding
I m a picture that I m holding
It was the suit that got me the gig
(Someone who is cool...)
It was the tear that got me the girl
(Someone who is cool...)
I m a sheep in this wolf s clothing
(Someone who is cool...)
I m a picture that I m holding
Of someone who is cool
Someone who is cool
Of someone who is cool
Someone who is cool
[Outro]
