I Wear A Coat Of Feelings And They Are Loud.

Do you spend your whole life trying to get back home?

Where do you go?

Kean old eyes unfold you in a kodachrome

And feelings show

Oh what do you know, baby

What do you know?

What do you know about where I come from?

What do you know?

Tell me, what do you know?

About who I am?

When I see you naked, I see more than flesh

Do you see the same thing?

Entertainment value

No, I couldn't care less

The feeling’s high

And you were so young, baby

You were so young

Dragging your feet in the face of creation

I was so young

Yeah, we were so young

And still there was you, the center of me

Oh, and still there was you, the center of me

I don't know you, baby

You don't know me

We are just victims of the same situation

Baby’s big war

Tell me what’d you die for

We were just born to lose this life

Could we please get married?

Do this just for us

The way we would do

It doesn't make much sense, but maybe nothing does

It never will

And these gears keep turning

These lives keep burning

And the love keeps changing around you

Stuck in one place

Painting your face

The color of milk

The color of sky

The colors of you

The colors don't lie

And I don't know you, baby

You don't know me

We are just victims of the same situation

Baby's big war

Tell me what’d you die for

Urges grow cold, but the feeling stays

And what do you know?

Tell me, what do you know?

You don't know me

Don't you question my love

And what do you know?

Tell me, what do you know?

You don’t know me

Don’t you question my love

I thought I knew one who told me i kept em safe

Got caught up in love cant make it through the day

Now all I think of is how will I run away

Buried in the problems I felt yesterday, yesterday, yesterday

Buried in the problems I felt yesterday, yesterday, yesterday

In the same old town, I saw your face

You seemed so sad, I felt the same

I knew you felt the way that I couldn't change

I knew you felt the way that I couldn't change

You thought you knew love, I thought that I felt the same

I found a new love, you found out i felt ashamed

I thought I knew love, but home-girl didn't think the same

she found a new love, I went within again

In the same old town, I saw your face

You seemed so sad, I felt the same

I knew you felt the way that I couldn't change

I knew you felt the way that I couldn't change

What was that?

You sound deserted

Lost and alone

The world around you gone perverted

Don't be afraid

This is what you've been saving for

Everything that you've done

Nothing seems to be what it's worth

I am really all that I've been looking for

It really doesn't matter so why try anymore

Just keep on searching

And I'll be uncertain

Your life will only be just what you want it for

Been around the world

Seen my share of existence

Smoked too much

An infidel for commitments

All over now

All as if it's just a beginning

My friends have come and gone

But you're still here and my head's spinning

All of the girls out with their hips asway

And I'm the loneliest man

They're selling incense and sunglasses on Orchard Street

Boatloads of bootleg Sean John

And I'll dream you up in this vast, dark bed

Believe I loved you for each hair upon

The back of your neck and I

Want to kiss you but I can't

Down on the river by the sugar plant

Down on the river by the sugar plant

Earrings

Weighing down the lobe and

Nose a lovely slope and the mouth turned down

Shoulders

Pale and beautiful and

Angle of the throat and

Your sweet sad stare

All of the waves that crash upon the shore

Fruitlessly shushing the world

I pledge allegiance to my displacement

My flag of doubt is unfurled

And I'll dream you up on a vast, dark coast

Believe I see you walking toward me, arms outstretched like a ghost, and I

Want to kiss you but I can't

Down on the river by the sugar plant

Down on the river by the sugar plant

Down on the river by the sugar plant

Down on the river by the sugar plant

Down on the river by the sugar plant

Down on the river by the sugar plant

She walked in

Her hands in fur coat pockets

She brought her best bad habit

She's looking for to kill

If not herself, then

Maybe tonight's boyfriend

Maybe some sad random

Looking for his fill

And though I know I'm just some perk

She lets me hang around and watch her work

'Cause she knows what I like to do

And she knows what I like to see

And she knows how to bring about

A shattered heart that don't belong to me

This one's a rager

And all the cute girls hate her

And all the boys run terrified

From her powder-white toes

"Who's she?" they ask me

As she stumbles past me

It's one of twenty different names

Depending where she goes

But I still don't know which one's real

She lets me hang around and watch her deal

'Cause she knows where a man gets weak

She leans in with a low-cut dress

She knows what I like to see

Her victims walking out the bar a mess

Now it's search and destroy

For the player of the playboy

For the walking apocalypse

And the heels she staggers on

She courts the shadows

She swings about the gallows

Rope to rope, she gets her thrill

And lays awake at dawn

But who could live that way this long?

I've seen plenty good girls go wrong

But I never seen someone like you

Burning holes in a four-post bed

Passed out with your knees all bruised

Your sleeping hand holding a cigarette

And your head never hurt so bad

Thinking 'bout the fun you had

What on earth did we do last night?

Why's there blood on the shower wall?

Who's that sleeping on the hardwood floor

And what's the number written on my palm?

Yeah, my keys are somewhere in my pants

But I ain't trying to get back home

Then she wakes up, and she quietly laughs

"There's a party tonight if you wanna go"

"There's a party tonight if you wanna go"

Someday, I hope for a lover to kill me

It's the closest I can hope to get to anybody

It's the closest I can come to being really free

And there's a ring of questions on my mind lately

Like will I find a love that lasts as long as my life?

Or will I die before ever becoming a wife?

And I'm wondering if I'm even the marrying kind

How can I give you my life when I know you're just gonna die?

Is there anything stronger than biology?

Is love being ruined by technology?

Nowadays, commitment seems like a burden to carry

I don't wanna think about it

I don't wanna (I don't wanna)

Think about it (think about it)

I don't wanna (I don't wanna)

Think about it (think about it)

I don't wanna (I don't wanna)

Think about it (think about it)

I don't wanna think about it

It's too scary

And the closest I can come to being really free

Is letting my lover perform experiments on me

Observe and analyze

And empirically hypothesize

'Cause I wanna know real love so desperately

But I think it's gotta happen scientifically

'Cause I'm scared, afraid of real intimacy

You know, the kind they say happens psychologically

Dressed up like a surgeon, you cut open my heart

Remove the brain and leave the body in charge

No more emotions taking control

We'll pick a part and play out our roles

Further than fantasy

Deeper than love could ever be

Further than fantasy

Deeper than love could ever be

And the only best friends I ever made

Were people I knew I didn't have to see every day

The closest to true love I ever came

Was with someone I kept many miles away

'Cause I'm wary of eliminating distance

This could surely be the death of any romance

'Cause I'm shitty and I'm lame and I'm dumb and I'm a bore

And once you get to know me, you won't love me anymore

And that possibility worries me the most

Not harm or abuse or becoming a ghost

It's the closeness, the intimacy

I'm afraid it might kill me

Further than fantasy

Deeper than love could ever be

Further than fantasy

Deeper than love could ever be
