The Mountain Goats - Lizard Suit

Take the trouble to pronounce the street names right
People like it when you show respect
Look out the window at the softening asphalt
The dreamy shimmer of the haze effect
Wear my lizard suit to the party
It's so hard to get noticed in this town

Almost invisible aboard the train
So many people who you just can't read
Dawdle when I reach the final station
Don't make a move until the crowds recede
Wear my lizard suit to the party
It's so hard to get noticed in this town

Wait for my cue
Search for one clue
I have to trust that my compass stays true

Let my phobias control my habits
Let my habits form the shapes of days
All alone up on the rooftop sometimes
(All alone, all alone, all alone)
Among the beacons where the lightning plays
I wear my lizard suit to the party
It's so hard to get noticed in this town
