Don't Even Trip
Peeping Tom · Pepping Tom [2006]
But I'm old enough to remember
Don't even trip...
I won't use that stupid word forever
(Cross your heart and hope to die)
Don't even trip
Don't get too big for your britches
(Don't even trip)
Or these bones been jumping out of your closet
(You're not in your closet yet)
So blase
Don't turn and look the other way
(You wanna be a star)
You wanna be a star
You're, oh, so near
Yet, oh, so far
Don't even trip...
You'll be flying south before the winter
On that long, long trip of December
(Don't even trip)
(Don't even trip)
(Don't even trip)
Don't be throwing stones at the mirror
(Lock in peace and close your house)
Don't even trip
Don't get too big for your britches
(Don't even trip)
Or these bones been jumping out of your closet
(You're not in your closet yet)
So blase
Don't turn and look the other way
(You gotta have it all)
You gotta have it all
You're, oh, so near
Yet, oh, so far
And I know that assholes grow on trees
I'm here to trim the leaves and
I'm afraid that you're still my friend
And you're just a piece of shit
But I can overlook it today
'Cause you're still my friend
Don't even trip...
Drop that gun, you ain't my fucking hero
(Don't even trip)
(Don't even trip)
(Don't even trip)
You think it's cool to be a fucking zero
(Don't even trip)
(Don't even trip)
(Don't even trip)
I can't believe I called you "mi amigo"
(Take a deep breathe and you'll be fine)
Speak of now
And one of you is a hundred loud
(When you preach you come off)
When you breach
They'll join you on the roofs and streets
(Like crystal clear)
Crystal clear
I'm hanging like a chandalier
(Watching over you)
Watching over you
I'll move you from a song to tears
And I know that assholes grow on trees
But I'm going to trim the leaves
And I can say
Daddy you're still my friend
And you're still a piece of shit
But I can overlook it today
'Cause you're still my friend
And I know that assholes grow on trees
But I'm here to trim the leaves
And i'm afraid
Are you still my friend?
And you're still a piece of shit
But i can look the other way
'Cause you're still my friend
Don't even trip...
