[Verse 1]
Well my soul
Wore low
Well I'll buy them on my pockets worn through
Since you’ve left me lying I've been losing
And this is something I simply cannot do

[Chorus]
Stay a step ahead
Shoulders bear the weight of worlds of lead
Paint this picture red
Arm and leg and leg and arm and head

Stay a step ahead
Shoulders bear the weight of worlds of lead
Paint this picture red
Arm and leg and

[Verse 2]
Well it's slow
But wore low
Shoes on my feet strictly full of holes
Since you’ve left me lately I've been losing
And this is something I simply cannot do
No this is something
Hey, this is something
I simply cannot do
[Bridge]
No time to fold
Well I don't know
Cross this line so many times
And find this pot of gold
Since you've left me lying I'm so lucky
And this is something you simply can't control so
This is something
You simply can't control
No, no, no

[Chorus]
Stay a step ahead
Shoulders bear the weight of worlds of lead
Paint this picture red
Arm and leg and leg and arm and head

Stay a step ahead
Shoulders bear the weight of worlds of lead
Paint this picture red
Arm and leg and leg and arm and head

Stay a step ahead
Shoulders bear the weight of worlds of lead
Paint this picture red
Arm and leg and leg and arm and head
