Текст песни

Every time I see you in the world, you always step to my girl.

[Verse 1:]
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.

[Chorus:]
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.

[Verse 2:]
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 her 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.

[Chorus]

[Bridge:]
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.

[Chorus]
