Somebody Else’s Money The Wallflowers

We can buy that mansion on the hill
We'll fill it up until it's filled
We'll buy a big black Cadillac
We'll keep an extra one in the back
We'll sit alone just listening
To the sounds of the winds when they're breaking
We can buy that diamond ring
Just about any other thing with somebody else's money

We can buy you that flower garden
With every rose that's ever risen
With a blanket and a safety pin
We'll keep away all the boogie men
We can buy you that swing
Swing through the sky's openings
We can buy that diamond ring
Just about any other thing with somebody else's money

We can tattoo nickels on our skin
We'll drain our veins and put honey in
We'll buy new fingers two times ten
We'll even put pennies in our chins
We'll buy a silver set of wings
Lay 'em on our backs for the winds
We can buy that diamond ring
Just about any other thing with somebody else's money
