Pine Overcoats Lyrics
Face to the ground
Blanket of clouds
And a monochrome army of friends
I'll fake my way out of this
I'm only playing pretend
But you play for keeps
Now I need my release
Tore through the ice and found tacks underneath
You can't deceive what is already clear
It's a sin
Wrap me up tight in my pine overcoat
And we'll dance our way out to the end
Tumbling over like drunken toy soldiers
I'll play the part of the sergeant who swears he would
Sacrifice everything, anything, nothing at all
Stagger stage right
As vermilion lights exit and nod off to bed
It's always been dark in my head
All the candlelight's dead
You held the match, but burned it too fast
Now the pilot light's filling my head full of gas
Surely, you know
Even iron corrodes
In the end
Dress me up nice in my pine overcoat
And we'll dance our way out to the end
Tumbling over like drunken toy soldiers
I'll play the part of the sergeant who swears he would
Sacrifice everything, anything, nothing at all
Nothing at all
So don't waste your time
I was already lost before you
The storm's in my mind

And it rains all the time
And the sun don't shine
You look so divine when you wear your
Pine overcoat
Too
Wrap me up tight in my pine overcoat
And we'll dance our way out to the end
Making up plans that we'll never undo
And I'll be the fool who would think they'd come true
I would sacrifice everything, anything
Something I hold very dear to the end
But this isn't real, and we're only playing pretend
This isn't real
And we're only playing pretend
