Lyrics
I dress up nice in my new suit and tie
Gussied up good
I clean up well for special occasions
I was peeking through the slots of venetian blinds
Cautiously observing the passersby
When from the corner of my eye
I spotted a creature that moved on two legs
And took the shape of a man
A cold chill rushed down my spine
I felt fear
Knowing what I had to do, I turned around
I fled!
Gussied up good
Nice day, sun is out
I lounge around the house with a gun in my mouth
Through every door, a new red room
Don't think I'd pay too much per view, would you?
An inside joke, incessant whining
Comedy is timing and my best days are behind me
A new place in a new town
Complete your purchase of the farm or get the fuck out
I dressed up nice in my new suit and tie
Gussied up good
I clean up so, so well
Gussied up good
It comes directly from my heart to yours
If I had a good idea I swear I’d let you know
I could let you down easily
And as I slipped away
I could swear there was nothing else you could’ve done
I hope they make me look nice for my friends and extended family
A pine box and a modest headstone engraved with my name, D.O.B, and probably a few nice words
I hope you don’t forget me when I’m dressed up nice in my Sunday best
An over-applied perfume
They never get the eyes quite right
At least the fit is nice
You run into someone you haven't seen in years
Maybe rekindle an old flame
You’ll be hanging around a bit after the ceremony and as the crowd begins to dwindle you make some small talk for an hour or two
Then all at once the congregation rises and heads off towards the parking lot
And end scene
Close the doors
Everyone laughs
