Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm gonna take a stroll
Eat a piece of fruit
Believe in rock 'n' roll
Buy a burgundy suit
Burgundy suit
[Verse 2]
I been down, so down
Like totally depressed
Can't get out of bed now
I'd rather be possessed
Rather be possessed
[Verse 3]
Too much information
Mostly bad or plain wrong
I can't change the station
I wanna hear The Great Beyond
Hear The Great Beyond
[Chorus]
Burgundy suit, ah-ah
Burgundy suit
Burgundy suit, ah-ah
Burgundy suit
[Verse 4]
Thanks for ayahuasca
Mushroom microdoses
Ketamine therapy
A hopeful diagnosis
Hopeful diagnoses
[Verse 5]
The world is sucking hard
Our future looking grim
My feathers may be tarred
I'll still be your Sunny Jim
Your Sunny Jim, him
[Chorus]
Burgundy suit, ah-ah
Burgundy suit
Burgundy suit, ah-ah
Burgundy suit
[Outro]
Burgundy suit, ah-ah
Burgundy suit
Burgundy suit, ah-ah
Burgundy suit
