I'm tryin', I'm tryin', I'm tryin', I'm tryin', I'm tryin', I'm tryin'

I'm tryin', I'm tryin', I'm tryin', I'm tryin', I'm tryin', I'm tryin'

I'm tryin', I'm tryin', I'm tryin', I'm tryin'

Imagine if you will Herr Proctor, alias a nobleman

Son of son of Scion and Scion, part of his rich inheritance

Parcel in generous divorced sense forklift beam

Certain plots of land and living

Quarters deemed by all gentlemen

And wives thereof, to be grossly humane and frankly, quite undirty

I'm tryin', I'm tryin', I'm tryin', I'm tryin', I'm tryin', I'm tryin'

I'm tryin', I'm tryin', I'm tryin', I'm tryin', I'm tryin', I'm tryin'

I'm tryin', I'm tryin', I'm tryin', I'm tryin'

Herr Proctor, in his enviable good taste tries quick escape gambit

Via local periodicals, but no takers the land and he

Was stationed in a conduit between two cells

A veritable no man's land, rain, the flophouse, cog bone terrors

And carbon monoxide wallpaper all his brig deck Trina

Boys ask "Is it livable?"

I'm tryin', I'm tryin', I'm tryin', I'm tryin', I'm tryin', I'm tryin'

I'm tryin', I'm tryin', I'm tryin', I'm tryin', I'm tryin', I'm tryin'

I'm tryin', I'm tryin', I'm tryin', I'm tryin'

Unable to bear the scandal, Ray, philanthropist

Rents low-down scab house in conduit

Herr Proctor offers said land for a song, but no one wants to sing

In an attempt to maintain social privileges

Yet mask it as goodwill, he says to the conduit members

Take this rotten old tree and make it bear fruit

Cheers erupted throughout the things settlement

An Italian male was heard to say

Between here and there is better than anything over there

I'm tryin', I'm tryin', I'm tryin', I'm tryin', I'm tryin', I'm tryin'

I'm tryin', I'm tryin', I'm tryin', I'm tryin', I'm tryin', I'm tryin'

I'm tryin', I'm tryin', I'm tryin', I'm tryin', I'm tryin', I'm tryin'

I'm tryin', I'm tryin', I'm tryin', I'm tryin', I'm tryin', I'm tryin'

I'm tryin'
