Lyrics What Would You Say (Live at Madison Square Garden, New York, NY 12.21.02) - Dave Matthews Band

Up and down the puppies' hair
Fleas and ticks jump everywhere
'Cause of original sin
Down the hill, fell Jack and Hill
And you came tumbling after
'Cause of original sin now

Rip away the tears
But drink a hope to happy years
And you may find a lifetime's passed you by

What would you say?
Don't drop the big one
If you a monkey on a string
Don't cut my lifeline
If you a doggie on a chain
Don't bite the mailman
What would you say?

I was there when the bear ate his head
It thought it was a candy
Well everyone goes in the end
Knock knock on the door, who's it for?
There's nobody in here
Look in the mirror, my friend

I don't understand at best
I cannot speak for all the rest
But the morning rise, a lifetime's passed me by

What would you say?
Don't drop the big one
If you a monkey on a string
Don't cut my lifeline
If you a doggie on a chain
Don't bite the mailman
What would you say?

Every dog has its day
Every day has its way of being forgotten
Mom, it's my birthday, would you say?
What would you say?
What would you say?
(What could you say?) What would you say?

I was there when the bear ate his head
It thought it was a candy
Well everyone goes in the end
Knock knock on the door, who's it for?
There's nobody in here
Look in the mirror, my friend

I don't understand at best
I cannot speak for all the rest
The morning rise, a lifetime's passed me by
What would you say?
