Tokyo Smoke

Lyrics

Hey man
 Hand me down 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
 ♪
 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
 ♪
 Quicksand color blind in the hourglass
 All spun out 'cause you can't stop looking 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
 ♪
 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
 ♪
 Endless shot rounds
 No smoking guns
 Fizzled and faded
 Now back on the run
 My sticks and stones
 Tokyo smoke
 I played the fool 'til 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 of trail
 Spiderweb spun
 Pale white and blue
 Now I'm coming undone
 Play sticks and stones
 Three shades of black
 Two steps away
 And I can't get back
