Paroles de Overcoat

When I was young I was left to fend for myself A latchkey leaves the door open for anyone else I met the brothers 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 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 had 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
