EELS - My Old Raincoat
Oh no
She's giving back my old raincoat
The one i said she could keep
Okay
She's taking back her umbrella
Well that's alright with me
Oh why
I feel like i'm a fighter
Who only wins despite
My broken bones
The winner stands alone
Every pocket has a hole
There is no hope
I'm walking around
In my old raincoat
Oh yeah
She's tearing up my old letters
She's setting fire to the heap
She says she's feeling much better
She says it's easy to sleep
Without me there
In the cool night air
The sun is shining
The sky is blue
And I am cold
Just walking around
In my old raincoat
Now i know i'm really free
Oh why
I feel like i'm a fighter
Who only wins despite
My broken bones
The winner stands alone
Every pocket has a hole
There is no hope
I've searched them all
Looking for a note
The sun is shining
The sky is blue
And i am cold
I'm walking around
In my old raincoat
Now i know i'm really free
