Why Is Your Raincoat Always Crying?

why is your raincoat always crying
why does the hat on your head hang over your eyes
your white shirt is buttoned way up to the top
suspicious that zippers don't know when to stop
and they're certain that jacket is lying
why is your raincoat always crying

why is your nightgown so sad and sleepy
what is the secret your makeup refuses to tell
bright colours grow weary from years of neglect
brown scarf curls tight around your pretty neck
and just what is that sweater implying
why is your raincoat always crying

why does that old robe act like it's dying
why does it cling to your side hanging on for dear life
as you take off that dress and you put on the next one
each hopeful outfit will beg the same question
if going outside is really worth trying
then why is your raincoat always crying
