My heart and your windows, opaque and brokenHello to your folks and welcome to OaklandYour Dad sold that coke and was sold up the riverI say I get it, you say it's differentMy parents are livid, yours went ballisticThe local cabs won't pick me up in your districtYou say you'll miss it, I'm more realisticYou say it's forever, I know the statisticsYou were on fire when you walked awayYou were on fire when you walked awayYou were on fire when you walked awayYou were on fire when you walked awayYour friends call me cracker, I hope they're jokingDrunk in the back of my parents' car smokingOutside the club, taking shots in the TaurusI called you baby, you called me a touristThis liquor feels sordid, I can't take much more of itYour brother, the dealer, stares me down as he pours itIt's not that I'm bored of the foothills, well, sort ofWe just need the Lord above to support usYou were on fire when you walked awayYou were on fire when you walked awayYou were on fire when you walked awaySongtexteYou were on fire when you walked awayThe cops busted you for your brothers' kis andThey would have been lenient if you were EuropeanI hope you believe that the narc wasn't me andI think it's a crime you weren't tried as a minorBut I wouldn't blame you if the powder was yoursAnd the Pyrex and firearms under the floorboardsNow I feel horrible, like I was a long shotLike man is his own God, call in the bomb squadYou were on fire when you walked awayYou were on fire when you walked awayYou were on fire when you walked awayYou were on fire when you walked awayIf I could stay with you I wouldCrosstown traffic does no one any goodIf I could stay with you I wouldCrosstown traffic does no one any goodIf I could stay with you I wouldCrosstown traffic does no one any goodIf I could stay with you I wouldCrosstown traffic does no one any good Aus Songtexte Mania
