Ah, yeah
Ooh, yeah

Keep your eyes wide open, man
You decide to take the long walk
My city screams of danger
And you are on borrowed time
It comes from a jealous clock
And you are permanent stranger
So the last of the wild frontier kings
Is held for further questioning
When nothing's left but death and taxes
Matter of the real factor
Go through life as someone's doormat
While you don't get no sporting chance
And ain't much distance 'tween a pat on the back
And a kick in the pants
We do the dark town shuffle
I know you talk the talk, yes I do
I do the dark town shuffle
Yeah, but can you walk the walk?
Let me see you 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
Huh, I sleep the sleep of the just after
You see, the wild boys go hand to hand
And like the Good Book says, be quick and dead it
Eat it up and let 'em go
'Cause I'm filing charges on your soul
It's just a joke and you're the punch line
Yeah, the streets are a million layers
And if I must, well, you can count on us
Everybody else gotta pay cash
Do the dark town shuffle, woo
But can you talk the talk? Let me hear it
You do the dark town 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
You know, I know my diet could use some refinement
But I'm on a self-improvement tip these days
So what the fuck, man
Hey man, there was a line behind me
A line behind me
ย
Yeah, they always try to nail ya
Mom, God, boy, the whole routine
Well, here's a little trick that'll never fail ya
In your time of need
We do the dark town shuffle
Yeah, can you talk the talk, baby?
Do the dark town shuffle
Well, let me see you walk the walk
Walk it
Are ya, are ya, are ya ready, boots?
Start walkin'
Excuse me, but I, I'm new in town
Was wondering if I could get directions to your place?
There goes the neighborhood
