Lyrics

I(berry/buck/mills/stipe)

On the outside, underneath the wall
All the money couldn't buy
You're mistaken, no one's standing there
For the record no one tried

(Chorus)
Oh, I try to
What if we give it away?

Overlooking with a hollow eye
What's pretending is it right
Eye for order a hand for what's in line
Couldn't follow, couldn't write

(Repeat chorus)

And our life is fine here
Stitch it on your tie here

Here's the trailer, tom
A year has come and gone
We're not moving was it right
Take the order sew it on your tie
We couldn't follow, couldn't try

(Repeat chorus)

What if we give it away?
