Tree (Reprise) - David Byrne

Today is an important occasion

She thinks that she must wear the right clothes

The right combination of clothes will make her lucky

But there are specific kinds of luck

And different kinds are needed for different occasions

A blue dress for intuition

The grey shirt and maroon slacks for making strong statements

The navy pullover and the woolen skirt for discovering mystery

She thinks of what she wore on a similar occasion

Like the one she will be involved in today

Particularly a similar occasion that was successful for her

She lies on the bed and imagines herself in a variety of outfits

She quickly narrows the range of possibilities

She tries them on in a few combinations

The striped shirt and corduroy slacks

The red dress, she leaves the house

The outcome is certain
