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 the wolf's 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 the wolf clothing

I'm a picture, that I'm holding

Of someone who is cool

Of someone who is cool

Of someone who is cool

Of someone who is cool

Close but kinda meatless

Like actors who play Jesus

In movies of the week

What other people wish for

Oozes from my every pore

I'm the coffee, not the sleep

And I'm a 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 (It was the suit that got me the gig)

Someone who is cool (It was the tear, that got me the girl)

Someone who is cool (I'm a sheep in the wolf clothing)

Ooh, la, la, la (I'm a picture, that I'm holding)

Someone who is cool (Someone who is cool)

Someone who is cool

Someone who is cool
