Brand New Suit
My family is taking me out today
In search of a brand new suit
One in which they can bury me
I'll be leaving here real soon
You can tell it in my walk
You can see it in my eyes
If I last more than another month
Even I will be surprised
You can hear it in my rasp
You can smell it on my breath
Not a whole lot of need to ask
Who it is that's kissing death
That's why they feel the urgent need
To go out and buy me a brand new suit
Something that will match my casket
Something in a baby blue
