Mr Coffin do you feel like an orphan?
Daddy done died and left you the man of the house.
It’s alarming, now everybody’s coughing
And that cocaine money’s running out
By the sea, by the sea
The road is paved for you and dirt for me
So go ahead, tear one mansion down to build another mansion
Mr Coffin, do you count your dead often?
Or do you not need to count sheep at night?
Just an old friend, I see you quite often
Driving bout 4 to 5 in your sweet ride
Does it make you feel all warm inside?
Down at that water line?
You can look but you can’t find your peace of mind
By the sea, by the sea
the road is paved for you and dirt for me
so go head, tear one mansion down and build another mansion
By the sea, by the sea
The road is paved for you and dirt for me
Go ahead, tear one mansion down and build another mansion
Mr Coffin, I feel for ya something wicked
When something wicked this way comes at night
Tell you something you might find insulting
But money can’t buy the things money can’t buy
By the sea, by the sea
The road is paved for you and dirt for me
Go ahead, tear one mansion down and build another mansion
By the sea, by the sea
The road is paved for you and dirt for me
