Raincoat Song by The Decemberists Lyrics
Caroline, you’re angry 'cause you sleep like a spinster
And you're twenty-eight
You been thinking late
You couldn’t catch a cold
Bend your head double in the goose-down
Piling all the pillows high
Heave your fiercest sigh
And see if that’ll work
And the raincoat that you wore when it rained today
And the raincoat that you wore when it rained today
I think it only made it rain more
I think it only made it rain the more
If the water’s all wicking up your pant leg
Better wear your britches tight
I should teach you right
To be so down at heel
Going off half-cocked, not shot full of arrows
From the cherubim
Oh the nerve of them
To not draw their bow
And the raincoat that you wore when it rained today
And the raincoat that you wore when it rained today
I think it only made it rain more
I think it only made it rain the more
And you're twenty-eight
You been thinking late
You couldn’t catch a cold
Bend your head double in the goose-down
Piling all the pillows high
Heave your fiercest sigh
And see if that’ll work
And the raincoat that you wore when it rained today
And the raincoat that you wore when it rained today
I think it only made it rain more
I think it only made it rain the more
If the water’s all wicking up your pant leg
Better wear your britches tight
I should teach you right
To be so down at heel
Going off half-cocked, not shot full of arrows
From the cherubim
Oh the nerve of them
To not draw their bow
And the raincoat that you wore when it rained today
And the raincoat that you wore when it rained today
I think it only made it rain more
I think it only made it rain the more
