Warp from the trying, it was covered from the ? Sellin' in, rafting, stickers up, nine months Ticket? Can't afford to, life of the payroll Life rolled up, in my eyes and my ? Head phones drop like the ? off a kangaroo Walk like a bango, tiger in the tight roll And the train roar, and the train roll And I train roll on(?) And I stopped bodies who dropped Gun loud root em out I said to hold up but you can't do that (Wop bop a loo bop a lop bam boom) Next stop, what have you got?
