Lyrics: Beck Hansen
Music: Beck Hansen
Sung by Jason Crosby with Phil Lesh and the Terrapin Family Band in 2014.
We all wear cloaks
We all wear cloaks
We all wear cloaks
We all wear cloaks
Salamander rolling zig zag
Marching to a humdrum
Between the truth and a cryptogram
Like a skeleton struck dumb
In a closet gilt in camouflage
All the secrets of the world
Your conscience running rough shod
The swine are throwing back your pearls
We all wear cloaks
We all wear cloaks
We all wear cloaks
We all wear cloaks
Don't let anybody find out
What a lamb could never tell
Who conceals it with a smile
Like a crack in a liberty bell
Put a dollar on a martyr
Who rode a dead horse home
Through the eye of a needle
That burst the bubble of a holy ghost
We all wear cloaks
We all wear cloaks
We all wear cloaks
We all wear cloaks
We all wear cloaks
We all wear cloaks
We all wear cloaks
We all wear cloaks
