Keep Moving

I keep moving I go from house to house I stay committed Like one foot in, one foot out I bounce Yeah I'm leaving this place Divorce papers falling out my briefcase Miss Intuition, the half-truth harlot Got her suspicions Lacks proof but wants it I've been practicin' grabbin' the noose when the knot slips Rewiring my mind to make the firing squad miss And while they're busy reloading I'm decoding the messages she sent with this key I keep holding But it's a copy And the lock seems broken Got me chokin' on discussions I cannot keep open I'm fully clothed in this cock-tease moment The last cigarette sits between my lips But I will not smoke it While it dangled I got strangled by a second hand Broke the ropes when I held my breath and let my chest expand Threw the stogie to the lonely hitman for hire Told him that he owed me and he showed me his hand's on fire We didn't shake on it He nodded, I nodded back He lit the cigarette with his finger and dropped the gat I started walking the tracks you should've tied me to I waited for a train to hop but stopped to say good-bye to you When I turned my head I heard what you said: "Murder him dead and try to do it with the girl in his bed" So I fled As I remembered one should never look back There's no direction home only blood on the tracks Stuck in the past I jetted and left the red footprints for them to follow Headed toward tomorrow And took sips from the flask That you bought me For my sober anniversary Her dad tracks my scent She's got her old man in search of me He knows where I'm headed, he's been there King of the home Sits on his throne like it's an electric chair I'm the heir to that domestic death sentence I see people accepting lethal injections Dead in seconds They confused prison for a bed in breakfast Used their one call on voice mail to see who left a message Could it be her? Could it be!? They're desperate Mad at me cause they lack a strategy for exit Nobody pregnant, nobody get burped I got lost on this head trip but won't talk to an expert My legs hurt cuz I've been walking with cement boots Ever since you lured me to the water bed to get cute She had a wet suit and dry disposition But couldn't execute that type of mission It's no small time thing organizing my ending My book of life Is a "Choose Your Own Adventure" With a circular section You can tell your friends I walked all over you But you know that's not what these boots were made to do In fact, you had them crafted at the store Said, "Baby, slip em on" but I don't know what you take me for. I knew what was up once I felt nailed to the floor And since the key didn't work I kicked my way through the door I keep moving I go from house to house I stay committed like one foot in, one foot out I bounce Yeah I'm leaving this place Divorce papers falling out my briefcase I keep moving I go from house to house I stay committed like one foot in, one foot out I bounce Yeah I'm leaving this place Divorce papers falling the fuck out my briefcase I am no destination I am just the journey So don't go settling on me, love No, don't go settling on me I am no destination I am just the journey So don't go settling on me, love No, don't go settling on me I am no destination I am just the journey So don't go settling on me, love No, don't go settling on me Speak of me in your travels Take pictures if you please But don't go settling on me, love No don't go settling on me
