Coatails

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Heart's on your coatails Soul on your shirt cuff Hands sew your button front You take the cane in your left hand They'll be no turning now Cause you're just one left standing now [Verse 2] Heart's in the right place Senses the wrong taste You're common enough you know, you know You could have, danced with the best feet If only we could have known You'd put your feelings all on show Evening dress-the simple test Of the character we show Now you've got no more steps to show [Verse 3] Aah, aah, aah, aah, aah, aah, aah Aah, aah Clothes cover notions about our emotions You're not what you seem to bе Oh, your sleeves cover heartachеs Where heartaches there should not be You know they're not what we should see Watch your coatails circle out As you glide across the floor And now we've shown you this We're into showing you the door
