Army In The White Coat - Bright Eyes

You take your clothes off right after school

The tea is on, the flame is blue

You hope this won’t take all afternoon

The TV is waiting to talk to you

It’s your naked body on white velour

But there’s no feeling, just weight on you

You get nauseous now as he speaks to you

Such proper language for acts so cruel

He says «We all follow the rules

We can’t very well go and break them now, can we

For you

Your older sisters, I’ve had them too

But you’re my favorite, you know it’s true

You look like your mother, in that thin disguise

Your parting mouth, your shutting eyes

And the way that you hate me, and the length of your hair

It’s the reason I made you, it’s the bond that we share

You see we’re all trying to endure

You could easily go and make your own life somewhere

Couldn’t you?»

With the sun you rise but you keep your eyes shut

The alarm clock lies, get to school on time

Where you’re a bag of warm fluid

Where you’re the corpse in the class

You walk so near to the lockers

You lay so low in the grass

Did you get that coat from the principal

Did you get that bruise on the bus

You should wash your hair more

You should look more like us

I saw you walking once under powder blue skies

You looked cold still, your collar was high

And I tried to talk to you, but you walked right by

I don’t know which I said then, hello or goodbye

Or that we all want to be pure

But it isn’t a very easy thing now, is it

To do?
