When I put on the Jacket I am a new man,
Defined and Aimful. Worth more than I am.
Long satin sleeves writhing in gold,
Glowing cuffs and a collar so bold,
Nothing can stop me now, nothing can!
For when I put on the Jacket, I am a new man.

When I put on the Jacket you see me differently,
this piece of cloth changes who I am,
does it? can it? should it?
When I put on the Jacket I am a new man.
Larger than planets, more living than the sea,
Inside of the Jacket I am a new me.

When I put on the Jacket, I'm warmer inside,
not just from the protection the Jacket provides,
It's strong, like armour, like war wearing means,
see, nothing about the Jacket is what it seems,
I fight through the war and I BANG and I SLAM,
For inside the Jacket I am a new man.

When I'm tired and lonely I wear what I can,
but nothing stops me taking off this man.
I stretch it and shrink it as I grow older,
the colours are fading, no longer bolder
than me and my mind and my thoughts, which I ban.
I'm not too old now. I AM A NEW MAN.

I CRY AND I SCREAM
I AM A NEW MAN
I WILL NOT TAKE OFF THE JACKET NOW
I NEVER WILL, NEVER CAN.
"HELP ME, TEAR ME, PULL ME" IT WAILS
AND I LIE ON THE FLOOR, BURSTING WITH PAIN.

I breathe and I declare, as loud as a can...


NOTHING CAN STOP ME. I AM A NEW MAN.
