Lines in the Suit

[Verse 1]

I'm on a straight line when a man comes around

And he got lines in the suit

Coming out to make us moot

I'm moving on now, if I like it or not

He says I've got nowhere to go

Tell me something I don't know

He's painting it out like I don't want to know

[Chorus]

The picture has come down

I'm taking it off and throwing it out

The picture is about what could have been easier

The picture is coming around now

How come I feel so washed up

At such a, such a tender age now?

How come I feel so washed up?

The picture is coming around now

It could have been easier

At such a, such a tender age

[Verse 2]

I'm listening to the comforting sound

Of some kind of work being done outside

Of sounds from next door the walls don't hide

I'm listening to "Mountain to Sound"

And the way it's panned is cool

But when I get back home to you

There's got to be something more than that, too

[Chorus]

The human resource clerk

Has two cigarettes and back to work

She eats right, but hurts

And she says, "It could have been good by now"

It could have been more than a wage, yeah

How come she feels so washed up

At such a, such a tender age now?

It could have been easier

It could have been more than a wage

How come she feels so washed up at such a tender age?

[Outro]

I'm on a straight line and a man comes around

And I got nowhere to go

Come back and tell something I don't know
