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 momma’s gold

Think of how good you’d look if you were a ghost

Shorty swing my way

Lock the fucking 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

Fuck 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 momma and your daddy

But dang

It ain’t so simple babe

You handcuffed to my wrist again

You wanna keep your head a float 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 momma’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 shit

When the drug hits your lips

Or have unprotected sex

We all so damn scared

That we too close to death

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 comforting to standing next to

Edge of 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 momma’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
