Nothing's Gonna Change My Clothes

They Might Be Giants · Then: The Earlier Years [1997]

All the people are so happy now

Their heads are cavin' in

I'm glad they are a snowman with

Protective rubber skin



But every little thing's a domino

That falls on different dots

And crashes into everything

That tries to make it stop



And the mirror, it reflects

A tiny dancin' skeleton

Surrounded by a fleshy overcoat

And swaddled in



A furry hat, elastic mask

A pair of shiny marble dice

Some people call them snake eyes

But to me they look like mice



And nothing's smellin' like a rose

But I don't care if no one's coming up for air

'Cause I know nothing's gonna change my clothes

Ever anymore



All the people are so happy now

Their heads are cavin' in

I'm glad they are a snowman with

Protective rubber skin



But every little thing's a domino

That falls on different dots

And crashes into everything

That tries to make it stop



And nothing's smelling like a rose

But I don't care if no one's coming up for air

I know nothing's gonna change my clothes

Ever anymore



No no no no nothing's smelling like a rose

But I don't care if no one's coming up for air

I know that nothing's gonna change my clothes

Ever anymore
