Let's take the long way home Break each other's bones What your daddy don't know Won't put no pox on his soul You know You haul a heavy load Draped in your mama's gold Think of how good you'd look if you were a ghost Shorty swing my way Lock the f**ing deadbolt draw the shades Got fired on a Friday Back on the block the same damn day I know we got problems I used to be real good at making 'em fade But we run out of options f** I look like bagging groceries at the pick n save If this a different age And you and I had different names We probably wouldn't sweat a single thing But hey I know you hate this game You probably plot your great escape To run back to your mama and your daddy But dang It ain't so simple babe You handcuffed to my wrist again You wanna keep your head afloat you swim Or sink You gettin' riches ain't you Remember when we kids, it's strange It all just seems so god damn far away From today, hey Let's take the long way home Break each other's bones What your daddy don't know Won't put no pox on his soul You know You haul a heavy load Draped in your mama's gold Think of how good you'd look if you were A ghost A ghost A ghost How good you'd look if you were a ghost It's like that rush that you get When you jump off high sh** When the d** hit your lips Or have unprotected s** We all so damn scared That we too close to d**h We'll do anything we can To cheat the Devil for a breath Or feel that life in your chest Yeah that pain gives you strength So you run till you collapse Chasing a fox that you can't catch And we like it like that Yeah don't you like it like that Smiling like Cheshire cat You trace your nail marks in my back Intoxicated by that Dangerous track There's something oddly comforting about Standing next to forest of black Secretly hoping it'll engulf you And you'll never look back To that person that you were Before you walked in my path Let's take the long way home Break each other's bones What your daddy don't know Won't put no pox on his soul You know You haul a heavy load Draped in your mama's gold Think of how good you'd look if you were A ghost A ghost A ghost How good you'd look if you were a ghost
