lyrics

The cardigan I wear's out of date
It belonged to a man who had exceptional taste.
I took a drive out to his estate
I'm wearing decadent clothing at a discounted rate.

Green seemed to be your color, I think I should thank your brother
He's throwing out your records and tapes.

They said you were a lover, told your wife there was no other, now you keep your secrets safe in the grave.

The guilt I feel is hard to convey
The ground must be cold behind that big iron gate.
Your gravy boat is sailing my way
The cardigan warms me on a crisp autumn day.

To some it's just a sweater, but to me it's so much better
you wore it every Thanksgiving Day.

The neck ties that you fashioned, all the sports coats that you fastened, all the robes you would tie up at the waist.

I think I'll come and visit your grave
so I can model your clothes and leave the money I saved.
The things that we amass have a way
of outlasting us all and changing hands everyday.

So as you're decomposing on your clothing I'm imposing
a wardrobe exponential decay.

The sweaters you pulled over, all the pennies that you loafered, all the tennis shoes that you re-laced.

The things that you possessed are now the things I repossessed
at a fraction of the price that you paid.

So as you're decomposing on your clothing I'm imposing
a wardrobe exponential decay.
