What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
Well I wandered in
2
To the house of mirrors
3
With a camera and an old shotgun
4
I was taking some pictures
5
Of me and my fears
6
And exploding them one by one
7
When all of a sudden
8
Much to my surprise
9
A lady with a fine tooth comb
10
Struck a match up to my face
11
And said, "Get out of this place
12
You better leave the ugly truth alone"
13
CHORUS:
14
Overcoats
15
Overcoats
16
I ain't never heard you sing
17
Overcoats
18
Overcoats
19
Take off that silly thing
20
Well, I looked her in the eye
21
With a slave-like stare
22
And said, "I'm here to talk about the rent"
23
Well, she did a double flip
24
Then she buttoned up her lip
25
Went and hid in the oxygen tent
26
Well the image shriveled up
27
And the air got thin
28
As she smiled from behind her mask
29
She said, "You can stay here all night
30
But it's gonna cost you your life
31
If I was you, I would be leaving fast."
32
CHORUS
33
I didn't come for information
34
No I've read the daily news
35
It's carved on everybody's face
36
But I'm without illumination
37
Yes, I think we blew a fuse
38
And I'd be much obliged
39
If you could help me locate the place
40
Well at this, she seemed quite baffled
41
And like a little girl
42
She took off her wedding gown
43
Then she stood before the mirror
44
And it all came clear
45
She was married to the lost and found
46
So I left her there sleeping
47
In her honeymoon
48
And I made it through the antidote
49
Well the procedure is brief
50
If you wanna see what's underneath
51
You gotta take off that overcoat
52
Overcoats
53
Overcoats
54
I ain't never heard you sing
