Текст песни The Dogtown Shuffle

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 is left but death and taxes

The matter of the real fact is

You go through life as someone's doormat

While you don't get no sporting chance

There ain't much distance between a pat on the back

And a kick in the pants

You do the Dogtown shuffle

I know you talk the talk, yes I do

I do the Dogtown shuffle

Yeah, 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

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?

Hey, get it 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, man?

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

Well, lemme see you walk the walk, walk it

Are ya, are ya, are ya ready boots? Start walking

Excuse me but I'm new in town

I was wondering if I could get directions to your place?

There goes the neighborhood
