Someone Who's Cool Lyrics - Singles - Odds

In natural selection I've avoided all detection 

And the tender bits underneath 

All with window dressing and calculated guessing 

And a bark bigger than my teeth 

It was the suit that got me the gig 

It was the tear that got me the girl 

I'm a sheep in this wolf clothing 

I'm a picture that I'm holding of someone who is cool 

Soul like a thimble swallowed up in symbols 

Wanting what I don't need 

If sympathy's the answer I'll have temporary cancer 

But that's not what I'll have, you believe 

It was the suit that got me the gig 

It was the tear that got me the girl 

I'm a sheep in this wolf clothing 

I'm a picture that I'm holding of someone who is cool 

Someone who is cool 

Close but kind of meatless 

Like actors who play Jesus in movies of the week 

What other people wish for oozes from every pore 

I'm the coffee not the sleep 

And I'm the song about the song 

That once said something new 

I'm a scandal that's unfolding 

I'm a picture that I'm holding of someone who is cool 

Someone who is cool
