I was born in the desert, May
Seventeen in seventy-three
When the needle hit the groove
I commenced moving
I was chasing what's calling me

Oh-oh-oh, feet don't fail me now
One foot in the gutter
One in the clouds
Feet don't fail me now
I just gotta move on

Life is hard, that's why no one survives
I'm much older than I thought I'd be
Feel like a fool, yeah, like a dancing fool, yeah
Foot loose and fancy free

Oh-oh-oh, feet don't fail me now
Stand in the gutter
And my head's in the clouds
Feet don't fail me now
I just gotta move on

Push myself to breaking point
It's all I know to do except for lie
I chase the gates and drift ad nauseam
Driven by feelings I cannot hide
To be so civilized,
One must tell civil lies

Me and my gang come to bust you loose
We move with an urgency
Between pleasure and agony, oh oh ah
That's the sound that's calling me
It's calling me
It's calling me
It's calling me
It's calling me
It's calling me
It's calling me
It's calling me
It's calling me
It's

Time to go
We're gon' take it as it comes
Future tense meets middle finger
We took the long way home

Oh-oh-oh, feet don't fail me now
Do whatcha gotta do
And do it now
Feet don't fail me now
I just gotta move on
