Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Hey man
Hand me down with the crooked back
What's your father's name, boy?
You don't know where you're at
Pick yourself up
You don't look so good
Maybe you should lay down
Taught me how to fall
But you never told me I was supposed to stay down
[Verse 2]
Stick and move
Sharpen up the knife
Keep it tight
Stay between the lines
Make your mark
Take your own advice
Don't be surprised when you trip and stumble
I played the fool again
My old unfaithful friend
Stick and move
Sharpen up the knife
Don't be surprised if you can't stay between the lines
[Verse 3]
Quicksand
Color blind
In the hourglass
All spun out 'cause you can't stop lookin' back
Better stay still
Don't you make a move
What'd you hope to find here?
Taught me how to fall
But you never told me I was meant to die here
[Verse 4]
Stick and move
Sharpen up that knife
Keep it tight
Stay between the lines
Make your mark
Take your own advice
Don't be surprised when you trip and stumble
I played the fool again
My old unfaithful friend
Stick and move
Sharpen up the knife
Don't be surprised if you can't stay between the lines
[Verse 5]
Endless shot rounds
No smoking guns
Fizzle and faded
Now back on the run
My sticks and stones
Tokyo smoke
I played the fool till I started to choke
My public smile
My double face
Half in the light
Half in the shade
Need some fresh air
No place tonight
Guess I'll stay in and continue to fight
Lost, trace the trail
Spiderweb spun
Pale, white and blue, now I'm comin' undone
Play sticks and stones
Three shades of black
Two steps away
And I can't get back
