coat & shoes (everything under the sun)

you tell me you’re singing the same old things
as you strap a capo tasto on your strings
since there’s nothing new worth saying
at least you pick a different key to play in

for you there’s nothing left to do
except for changing your coat and shoes
yes, you’ve learned your lesson well
and history is leading you to your hell
with your coat and your shoes

you say you’ve never been so happy
as you sit there grinning at me
like a child who’s trying to please me
and i guess for you it’s come to that, it’s that easy

for you there’s nothing left to do
except for changing your coat and shoes
but you won’t find me following you
i know that everything under the sun is new

  and i know that you’ve decided i’m too young
  to understand it’s all been done
  but though i’m young, at least in spirit
  i can recognize an echo when i hear it

for you there’s nothing left to do
except for changing your coat and shoes
and you take the echo for a guide
so you never see it’s taking you for a ride
with your coat and your shoes and everything under the sun

  and i know that you’ve decided i’m too bold
  to accept the story i’m being sold
  but i won’t buy before i’ve tried it
  and i’ll accept it if and only if i like it

for you there’s nothing left to do
except for changing your coat and shoes
but i got more than that to lose
i know that everything under the sun is new
