Lyrics
I bought a dead mans suit
I purchased a suit that belonged to a deceased person
I didn't get no change
I did not receive any money back in return
I couldn't take it back
I couldn't return the suit
For refund or exchange
No possibility of getting a refund or exchanging the suit
I thought that it was black
I initially thought the suit was black
I found out it was blue
Realized it is blue
Now I'm seeing things
Experiencing unusual things only associated with the deceased
That only dead men do
Consequences of wearing a dead man's suit
Well the arms are frayed
The sleeves are worn out, and the pockets are torn
And the pocket's burst
Issues arising since acquiring the suit
Since I got this suit
A metaphorical curse associated with the dead man's suit
I got a dead mans curse
Perceived changes, and the impossibility of reverting to the past
Now something's changed
Transformation or alteration in the narrator
And I can't go back
No going back with the dead man's suit still worn
With this dead mans suit
Still on my back
-Well I put it on
Put on the suit, thinking it was made of silk
I thought that it was silk
The texture felt smooth as if lined with milk
It felt so smooth
Realization of a sour taste, symbolizing a loss
Like it was lined with milk
A sense of losing something irreplaceable
Now all I've got
Is this sour taste
-Like I've lost something
-That can't be replaced
-I bought a dead mans suit
Repetition of the purchase of a dead man's suit
I didn't get no change
No reimbursement received
I couldn't take it back
Unable to return the suit
For refund or exchange
No possibility of refund or exchange
I thought that it was black
Reiteration of the initial misconception about the suit's color
I found out it was blue
Discovery of the true color of the suit
Now I'm seeing things
Continued experience of strange occurrences
That only dead men do
Reiteration of the consequences of wearing a dead man's suit
I'm a dead man now
Declaration of the narrator's current state as a dead man
