Someone Who Is Cool Lyrics

Someone Who Is Cool lyrics

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



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



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



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



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



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

of someone who is cool

someone who is cool
