Wearing A Raincoat Lyrics by They Might Be Giants

Wearing A Raincoat Lyrics

    Wearing a raincoat is flying around in a plane
    Made of a raincoat
    But when you think of that
    You hurt your mind
    And you'll need a friend
    To talk you down

    Needing a friend to talk you down
    Is food that comes from a pipe
    But when you hate the food
    That comes from a pipe
    You will turn to drugs
    To help you sleep

    Turning to drugs to help you sleep
    Will only lead to sleep
    And sleeping is a gateway drug
    To being awake, being awake, being awake again

    Being awake is swimming around in a lake
    Of the undead
    And the undead are like
    A bunch of friends
    That demand constant attention

    Demanding constant attention
    Will only lead to attention
    And once they have your attention
    They use it to ask for attention
    And once they have that attention
    They use it to ask for attention

    Wearing a raincoat is flying around in a yellow rubber airplane
    Made out of a raincoat, yes but when you think of that
    You hurt your mind
    And you'll need your mind
    For later on

    Needing a mind for later on
    Is a friend that comes at a price
    But when you hate the friend
    That comes at a price
    You will play the drums
    To help you sleep
