(Besides) I'm Already Dressed — The Pryme Maytz
I kept them on. There's a receipt against my thigh. Bought a little grain. Didn't buy an alibi. They want a reason. I give them a yawn. Same clothes again. No excuses in my hand. Morning at the door— And I'm already dressed. Let the creases stay. Let them say I should have changed. I can get up. I don't have to look my best. (I'm already dressed.) My phone lit up. Same question, different name. Turned it face down. Let the little thing complain. I missed a call. I didn't miss the sun. They want me bright and early. I can only promise one. They want a reason. I give them a yawn. Same clothes again. No excuses in my hand. Morning at the door— And I'm already dressed. Let the creases stay. Let them say I should have changed. I can get up. I don't have to look my best. (I'm already dressed.) The sleeve rode up. The collar left a crease. You can keep the questions. Leave the pillow here with me. (I'm already dressed.) They want a reason. I give them a yawn. Same clothes again. No excuses in my hand. Morning at the door— And I'm already dressed. Let the creases stay. Let them say I should have changed. I can get up. I don't have to look my best. Besides, I'm already dressed. Let me rest.
