[Verse 1]
The cats, the rats, the rust, the dust
The rent, the debt, the perscription and the pills
Checks, the specs, the balance, the bets
Advice worth as much as a three-dollar bill
[Chorus]
When you're standing on the edge of the abyss
Just stare at it and call it what it is
Then lace up your red wings and turn yourself around
[Verse 2]
The boots, the socks, the keys, the locks
Calenders, the clocks that you have to hang your days on
Bunk, the junk, the closet, thе trunk
If you got a secret you can't tell it to Miss Rayon
[Chorus]
A mеssage to your folk and to your kids
Do you know what your father and your sons did
Put your heels on, come and see tonight
[Guitar solo 1]
[Verse 3]
The jabs, the gaffs, tears, the laughs snubs
The jokes, the curses, and the blame
Sins, the winds, folks, your blokes who say
You know it doesn't hurt to act a little vain
[Chorus]
Ain't no riddle in the middle of my ride
Just let your inner moonlight shine
Put your docks and your mocks and your creepers on
[Guitar solo 2]
[Verse 4]
The moles, the trolls, Fascist, the assholes
Can't say their name without a crow flying by
Creeds, the squeeze. The contracts, the deeds
And all the dotted lines that you ever had to sign
[Chorus]
Just rip 'em up and put 'em in your pocket
Just throw 'em in the vault; no need to lock it
Put your docks and your mocks and your creepers-
Put your docks and your mocks and your creepers-
[Refrain]
Put your docks and your mocks and your creepers on
[Guitar solo 3]
