Feet Don't Fail Me

Album: Villains (2017)

  • 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 Writer/s: Dean Anthony Fertita, Joshua Michael Homme, Michael Jay Shuman, Troy Dean Van Leeuwen
