I stole a dead man's tie, i saw it hanging in his closet, It wasn't quite my style, but he no longer had to wear it. He lived a quiet life to the obvious(?) home in tv, And he loved his lovely tie and i know he'd love to see me wear it. Now there's a tie in my every-day feature, I wanna wear it almost every day. It's just a tie, so what does it matter, It's just a tie, so what do you say? I wore my dead man's tie to everybody's so fancy schmancy, I love my dead man's tie, i know i'll wear it all my life. I sold my dead man's tie, a tough decision, but it was worth it, I know he wouldn't mind, even though i didn't know him.
