You Suit a Rainy Day

Lyrics

A black and white French movie Was playing in my head That one where it's always raining And couple smoke in bed You were working the door at a strip joint On the east side of Tinseltown Every pole dancer, a goddess Every lap dance partner, a clown They wanted you to be a Suicide Girl But you "only get naked for art" Well, I have a brush And a palette of paints So, when do we start? The sky is brewing stormy In various shades of grey You are coming over And you suit a rainy day With flags on your feet Knots in your hair And holes in your long black dress You smashed your glass Then lost your phone You were such a beautiful mess Your familiars all around you Grouped on a Victorian couch The owl, the cow and the killer whale The latter had to crouch Now the sky is brewing stormy In various shades of grey You are coming over And you suit a rainy day I picture you in Paris On the Champs-Elysses Strolling past the horse chestnut tress On your way to the Grand Palais A Francophile of the first order You'd be in your element there At La Theatre Marigny Your bohemian soul laid bare Now the sky is brewing stormy In various shades of grey You are coming over And you suit a rainy day Yeah, the sky is brewing stormy In various shades of grey You are coming over And you suit a rainy day You suit a rainy day You suit a rainy day You suit a rainy day You suit a rainy day You suit a rainy day You suit a rainy day You suit a rainy day
