A Line on the Tongue

Lyrics

I went down to the mall, to the shoe store downtown Just looking for loafers to carry me around The salesman leaned over, looked left and looked right He whispered, "I got what you’re needing tonight." He opened a shoebox, he gave me a wink Said, "This is the good stuff, now what do you think?" I thought he meant leather, I thought he meant suede But buddy, I wasn't prepared for this trade! (Chorus) Oh, I bought my kicks from a shady guy And now my high-tops are making me high! He said they were laced, I thought he meant the string Now I’m trippin’ all day, feeling every little thing! Yeah, I did a line—right down the tongue Now my left foot is numb and my right foot feels young! (Verse 2) I said, "Are these sneakers?" He said, "Sneak a sniff!" I put 'em to my nose and I got a big whiff. He sold me some Speed-walkers, gave me a rush Now I’m moving so fast that my brain is pure mush! I asked for some arch support, good for the joint He passed me a baggie and pointed a point! I’m bouncing by the ounce, getting out of control I think that I might have just bartered my sole! (Chorus) Oh, I bought my kicks from a shady guy And now my high-tops are making me high! He said they were laced, I thought he meant the string Now I’m trippin’ all day, feeling every little thing! Yeah, I did a line—right down the tongue Now my left foot is numb and my right foot feels young! (Bridge) I’m leaving track marks wherever I run I’m addicted to footwear, oh what have I done?! I’ve got an obsession, a terrible habit I’m chasing the shoe-horn like it is a rabbit! (Guitar Solo - Fast and goofy) (Chorus) 'Cause I bought my kicks from a shady guy And now my high-tops are making me high! He said they were laced, I thought he meant the string Now I’m trippin’ all day, feeling every little thing! Yeah, I did a line—right down the tongue Now my left foot is numb and my right foot feels young! (Outro) Yeah, I’m getting my kicks! Literally, b'ys! I'm higher than a platform heel! (Uncle Willie laughs uncontrollably) Gotta go, I'm trippin' over my own two feet! (Sound of crashing into pots and pans) I'm good!
