[Intro]
Man went down and up came the bones
Step on a crack and you might find yourself alone
[Verse 1]
Jockey the horse, the handball alley
Gonna leave the course, took him down to the valley
Tip the four corners, tip the four walls
Three moons, green lady in the dunes
Look at the crack down on the side of the bank
I wanna fall in and never look back, I'm pushing
[Pre-Chorus]
Pushing away, tryna drain the tank
Climb the walls, paint the sun black
[Chorus]
Man went down and up came the bones
Step on a crack and you might find yourself alone
Well, your man went down and up came the bones
Step on a crack and you might find yourself alone
[Verse 2]
Shoveling sideways a dose for the birds
You're one to compare yourself to toppling turds
Justify your high horse with a headlong nod from the others
Well, could you have it?
Freedom, a choice to save yourself
Getting leathered tonight
Talk down to me, I'm pushing
[Pre-Chorus]
Pushing away, tryna drain the tank
Climb the walls, paint the sun black
[Chorus]
Man went down and up came the bones
Step on a crack and you might find yourself alone
Well, your man went down and up came the bones
Step on a crack and you might find yourself alone
[Refrain]
How many years I'll be waiting?
The pace of the baton coming down Manhattan
It's too much for me
I mustn't let it happen
These are the flaws of a dead man's habit
Come work and I'll show you
You're gonna have 'em stripped, run rabid
I can't, I can't go another day like this
Anytime it comes, it goes
Every time it comes in droves
At least I know
How many years I'll be waiting?
The pace of the baton coming down Manhattan
It's too much for me
I mustn't let it happen
These are the flaws of a dead man's habit
Come work and I'll show you
You're gonna have 'em stripped, run rabid
I can't, I can't go another day like this
Anytime it comes, it goes
Every time it comes in droves
At least I know
[Refrain]
How many years I'll be waiting?
The pace of the baton coming down Manhattan
It's too much for me
I mustn't let it happen
These are the flaws of a dead man's habit
Come work and I'll show you
You're gonna have 'em stripped, run rabid
I can't, I can't go another day like this
Anytime it comes, it goes
Every time it comes in droves
At least I know
How many years I'll be waiting?
The pace of the baton coming down Manhattan
It's too much for me
I mustn't let it happen
These are the flaws of a dead man's habit
Come work and I'll show you
You're gonna have 'em stripped, run rabid
I can't, I can't go another day like this
Anytime it comes, it goes
Every time it comes in droves
At least I know
[Outro]
Mm
Mm
Man went down and up came the bones
Step on a crack and you might find yourself alone
Man went down and up came the bones
Step on a crack and you might find yourself alone
Man went down and up came the bones
Step on a crack and you might—
