Tree (today Is An Important Occasion) Lyrics - Knee Plays - David Byrne

Today is an important occasion. 

She thinks that she must wear the right clothes. 

The right combination of clothes - will make her lucky. 

But there are specific kinds of luck - and different kinds are are needed - for different occasions: 

A blue dress for intuition 

The grey shirt and maroon slacks - for making strong statements 

The navy pullover - and her woollen skirt - for discovering mystery 

She thinks of what she wore - on a similar occasion - like the one she will be involved in today. 

Particularly a similar occasion - that was successful for her. 

She lies on the bed - and imagines herself in a variety of outfits. 

She quickly narrows - the range of possibilities. 

She tries them on - in a few combinations. 

The striped shirt - and corduroy slacks. 

The red dress. 

She leaves the house - the outcome - is certain.
