Baby's Got New Clothes

from Songs From the 4th Floor by NIk Phillips

/

lyrics

Well he walks out if the corner store and sits down all alone
And rolls a cigarette with shaking hands
He thinks of the potential that he gave away so long ago
Sees the bus arrive and makes his stand
Pretty girls are waiting in an office on the 4th floor
Where he lives his life between the sleep
He wishes there was someway he could open up their eyes
To what he used to be when love was cheap
But he spent all his investments on a love so long ago
Now the market has down turned and he’s got nothing left to show

Because Baby’s got new clothes
And she’s been getting it from somewhere else
Because Baby’s got new clothes
And she’s been getting it from somewhere else

Well the movers and the shakers on the sidewalk down below
All look familiar to his tired eyes
And he ponders on the feeling, to be flying through the air
Then lay before them in a red disguise
But surrendering of life’s not in nature so he shakes his head
And slowly lets the hours go
Across the plains of deserts where the hunger of a man
Is quenched with beer and a topless show

And he gives his best performance walking gently through the door
Smiles up at his love they just don’t talk much anymore
