why is your raincoat    always crying?   why does the hat on your head   hang over your eyes?    your white shirt is buttoned   way up to the top   suspicious that zippers    don't know when to stop   and there's certain a jacket is lying   why is your raincoat always crying?      why is your nightgown    so sad and sleepy?   what is the secret    your make-up refuses to tell?   bright colours grow weary   from years of neglect   brown scarf    grows tight   around your pretty neck   and just what is that sweater implying?   why is your raincoat always crying?       why does that old road   back like its dying?   why does it cling to your side   hanging on for dear life?   as you take off that dress   and you put on the next one   each hopeful outfit    will beg the same question   if going outside   is really worth trying   then why is your raincoat always crying?
