COMMENTS:

Additional Info: This song was originally recorded in May 2002 after STP's spring tour. The band did some sessions to record new material, and this is one of the (reportedly 4) songs they did at that time.

Robert: We did it for the soundtrack for Spider-Man, but we didn't get it as a lead track, so we kept it for ourselves. There are quite a few songs we never released over the years. We never exploited the publishing of STP. We didn't want to sell out. Led Zeppelin always had a mystique. I highly respect that. So we turned everything down for publishing to maintain a mystique of our own.

Dean: We had heard that the Spider-Man film wanted a track, so we wrote this in the studio.Robert had the verse riff; I had the chorus. We thought it would be kind of a cool title for Spider-man, being about a "suit" and everything. We put that song together - wrote it, cut it - in a day and a half.

 
LYRICS:

Hey you, someone said you were lost out there
In the grip, trying to strangle us all down here
In the meantime, are you ever gonna set us free
Hey you, will we ever get out of here?

Are you ever gonna surrender
do you even care
Wasn't talking about sweet submission
It wasn't even there

All in the suit that you wear
When you're looking for something
It's in the suit that you wear
when you're hiding from someone
All in the suit that you wear
When you wear it

Hey You, you keep a-walking the razor
On the edge, you cut your feet when you stand in there
In the meantime, there's always someone to set you free
Hey You, will you ever get out of there

Are you ever gonna surrender
do you even care
Wasn't talking about sweet submission
It wasn't even there

All in the suit that you wear
When you're looking for something
It's in the suit that you wear
when you're hiding from someone
All in the suit that you wear
When you wear it

In the suit that you wear
In the suit that you wear
In the suit that you wear
In the suit that you wear

All in the suit that you wear
When you're looking for something
It's in the suit that you wear
when you're hiding from someone
All in the suit that you wear
When you wear it

All in the suit that you wear
When you wear it

All in the suit that you wear
When you wear it
