Step

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 Berkeley with her Communist reader

Mine was entombed within boombox and walkman

I was a hoarder but girl that was back then

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 ignored all the tales of a 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

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
