Lyrics
Step on a crack... break your lover's back.
Trying to forget some old forgotten strut that I thought I'd done forgotten about, the hell I did.
Making amends... the hell I am. While the wind it blows some gentle breeze, I think it's got me on my knees... the hell it does.
What can I do? What can be done? The fate of things, unwinding springs, the times will pass, just make it last, I think I'll pass.
Walking some straight line like some tight rope walking drunken fool
Each step I take a brand new fate I close my eyes and stupor on... I'm better off...
