Says "Kid, you're no good in a fight"
"You can swing just as hard as you can
but the odds are against you, alright".

I can see how they are drawing you in
I can see how the argument goes
but its time to plan out your Houdini escape.
Cause the doors and windows are all closed

You can walk or you can cab it (as in take a cab?)
or run just like a rabbit
you're sticking to your habit, through thick and thin
you can sway or you can swagger
there is poison on the dagger
a nick (as in cut) will make you stagger
the fix is in.

says "Kid, there is no chance you can win"

some fool tries to challenge the throne
and I think I recall that it didn't end well
but, I've got to find out on my own

You can walk or you can cab it (as in take a cab?)
or run just like a rabbit
you're sticking to your habit, through thick and thin
you can sway or you can swagger
there is poison on the dagger
a nick (as in cut) will make you stagger
the fix is in.

Honey, I heard that you drowned
or at least that gave it a shot
and maybe I came in here seeking revenge
but what it was for, I forgot.
