Does his teeth bite to eat and he's rolling
Never changes a thing

[Verse 2]

Place them in a box until a quieter time
Lights down, you up and die
[Verse 3]

All these cars and upon the sidewalk
People in every direction

No time to exchange

Cut, cut, cut, cut

Take these chances
Place them in a box until a quieter time
Lights down, you up and die

Lights down, you up and die
