Lyrics:

I was a mess
I needed rest,
somewhere to convalesce.
In the mountain air,
I would clear my head.

I caught a ride
with a dude
dressed in three-piece suit
once some time had passed,
I asked about his threads

he said…

I’m straightening my tie,
I’m fixing my vest,
preparing myself
for what lies ahead.
Our numbers have grown
Oh, who could have know?
And it’s not over yet.

I’m stitching my seams.
I’m fixing my hair.
When darkness descends,
boy, you best be prepared.
I’m making a scene,
Oh! I do believe at last
our time as come.

When we arrived,
I was floored
at the clothes the people wore
Alas those vibrant hues
sent me into shock

After some weeks spent
in my room
emerged from my coccoon
in a paisley robe,
I guess I must have bought.

because…

I’m straightening my tie,
I’m fixing my vest,
preparing myself
for what lies ahead.
Our numbers have grown
Oh, who could have know?
And it’s not over yet.

I’m stitching my seams.
I’m fixing my hair.
When darkness descends,
boy, you best be prepared.
I’m making a scene,
Oh! I do believe at last
our time as come.

I need some information.
About your organization.
It’s just a secret club
that anyone can join.

Amidst this adulation.
I felt this transformation.
It’s not the sort of thing
I’d normally enjoy.

There is no reason to run.
Me and my army have come.
To save you from this glum,
hum-drum run.

I caught a glimpse of myself.
A vision in black and red felt.
Looking so dapper and svelt,
Feeling well
Feeling well
