Every time I see
you in the world
you always step
to my girl
Back back way back
I used to front
like Angkor Wat
Mechanicsburg Anchorage
and Dar es Salaam
While home in New York
was champagne and disco
Tapes from L.A.
slash San Francisco
But actually Oakland
and not Alameda
Your girl was in Berkley
with her communist reader
Mine was entombed within
boombox and Walkman
I was a hoarder
but girl that was back then
Ba dum
Ba dum
Ba
The gloves are off
The wisdom teeth are out
What you on about
I feel it in my bones
I feel it in my bones
I'm stronger now
I'm ready for the house
Such a modest mouse
I can't do it alone
I can't do it alone
Every time I see
you in the world
you always step
to my girl
Ancestors told me
that their girl was better
She's richer than Croesus
she's tougher than leather
I just ignore
all the tales of her past life
Stale conversation
deserves but a bread knife
And punks who would laugh
when they saw us together
well they didn't know
how to dress for the weather
I can still see them
there huddled on Astor
Snow falling slow
to the sound of the master
The gloves are off
The wisdom teeth are out
What you on about
I feel it in my bones
I feel it in my bones
I'm stronger now
I'm ready for the house
Such a modest mouse
I can't do it alone
I can't do it alone
Wisdom's a gift
but you'd trade it for youth
Age is an honor
it's still not the truth
We saw the stars
when they hid
from the world
You cursed the sun
when it stepped
to your girl
Maybe she's gone
and I can't resurrect her
The truth is
she doesn't need me
to protect her
We know the true death
the true way of all flesh
Everyone's dying
but girl you're not old yet
The gloves are off
The wisdom teeth are out
What you on about
I feel it in my bones
I feel it in my bones
I'm stronger now
I'm ready for the house
Such a modest mouse
I can't do it alone
I can't do it alone
Gloves are off
The wisdom teeth are out
What you on about
I feel it in my bones
I feel it in my bones
I'm stronger now
I'm ready for the house
Such a modest mouse
I can't do it alone
I can't do it alone
Every time I see
you in the world
you always step
to my girl
