Keep your eyes wide open, babe
|
If you decide to take the long walk
|
My city screams of danger
|
And you're on borrowed time
|
It comes from a jealous clock
|
And you're a permanent stranger
|
So the last of the wild frontier kings
|
Is held for further questioning
|
When nothing's left but death and taxes
|
The matter of the real fact is
|
You go through life as someone's doormat
|
Cause you don't get no sportin' chance
|
There ain't much distance 'tween a pat on the back
|
And a kick in the pants
|
|
You do the Dogtown Shuffle
|
Now do you talk the talk?
|
Yes I do!
|
I do the Dogtown Shuffle
|
But can you walk the walk?
|
|
Lemme see ya do it one time...
|
Some self-made guy gets it in the ass
|
At the local mini-mall
|
Looks more like a warning than an example
|
And late at night
|
They said he used to sleep the sleep of the just
|
I sleep the sleep of the just after
|
They said the wild boys go head to head
|
And like the good book says be quick or dead!
|
So ante up or let 'em go
|
Cause I'm filing charges on your soul
|
It's just a joke and you're the punchline
|
Yeah, the streets are a million laughs
|
And if I must, well in, God I trust
|
Everybody else gotta pay cash...
|
|
You do the Dogtown Shuffle
|
But can you talk the talk?
|
Let me hear ya!
|
You do the Dogtown Shuffle
|
But can you walk the walk?
|
|
Now purely off the record, man...
|
Yeah, I figured I was gonna go down
|
And get a little breakfast
|
At the local Taco Truck
|
Yeah, my guise could use some refinement
|
But I'm on a self improvement kick these days
|
So what the fuck?
|
Hey man, there was a line behind me
|
A line behind me...
|
Yeah they always try to nail ya
|
Mom, God, Pie the whole routine
|
Well here's a little trick that'll never fail ya
|
In your time of need
|
|
You do the Dogtown Shuffle
|
Yeah, can you talk the talk, baby?
|
You do the Dogtown Shuffle
|
Lemme see you walk the walk!
|
Walk it!
|
|
Are ya, are ya, are ya ready boots?
|
Start walkin'
|
Scuse me, but I'm new in town
|
I was wonderin' if I could get directions to your place?
|
There goes the neighborhood...
