Coatails

[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 be
Oh, your sleeves cover heartaches
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
