Tokyo Smoke lyrics

[Verse 1]

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

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 2]

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

[Chorus]

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

[Outro]

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
