[00:00.00]Clickety Clack - Sage Francis
[00:01.68]Death be not proud  though some have called thee
[00:06.14]Mighty and dreadfull  for  thou art not soe
[00:13.73]For  those  whom thou think'st  thou dost overthrow
[00:16.14]Die not  poore death  nor canst thou kill mee
[00:35.84]Clickety clack  clickety clack
[00:38.52]Gather my things  and I quickly attack
[00:40.92]Sword in my sheath  knife in my back
[00:44.03]Keep enemies closer than where friends are at
[00:46.66]Rose in my mouth  the petals are black
[00:49.45]One armored suit  the metal's intact
[00:51.99]Come fully strapped with a skull wooly hat
[00:54.96]Just picture that  clickety clack
[00:57.11]Now I find my location and unfold a map
[01:00.37]My index inspects it and follows the path
[01:03.21]My horse is on loan  and I borrowed a staff
[01:06.18]From some mystical wizard  I will give it back
[01:08.62]But I'm off to the races  my face has got cracks
[01:10.92]Worn out and weathered like a red leather mask
[01:14.13]I've been through the storm  future  present and past
[01:17.05]Light as a feather  swift as a cat
[01:20.01]Cold as a rock  you know not what you nicked from my sack
[01:24.00]Little bastard  you'll get skinned for that
[01:25.57]And you'll swim with the fishes once I finish this task
[01:28.16]No strings attached  clickety clack
[01:42.48]Kicked myself in the a** for not bringing my axe
[01:45.03]But I've got the flash paper and one single match
[01:47.29]Light won't escape me  a fire will catch
[01:50.67]You'll beg and you'll plead  you'll scream and you'll scratch
[01:53.65]But nothing can save you  you need to relax
[01:56.40]I'll keep you alive for a while  feed you scraps
[01:58.80]Love you like you deserve love  with some smacks
[02:01.94]A kick and a slap  clickety clack
[02:04.83]It's no longer personal  I'm simply detached
[02:07.29]From what's hurtful  I need to keep my business exact
[02:10.01]Separate beings  I can see our differences are vast
[02:13.17]And I can't bridge the gap  clickety clack
[02:15.81]Built a rickety raft out of twigs and some grass
[02:18.56]And I made it to shore just before it collapsed
[02:21.23]Salute to this mission  take swigs from your flask
[02:24.09]Tilt your glass  pick your poison  I'm poised to be fast
[02:27.10]On your scent  picked it up just by sniffin' the tracks
[02:29.82]Kept my ear to the ground and heard snickers and laughs
[02:32.41]Adding insult to injury for your criminal acts
[02:34.95]Now the cost of your freedom is a liberty tax
[02:49.42]You should have known better than to be mingling with rats
[02:52.09]Got a lead to your shack from some gypsies in the trash
[02:54.51]Cryptic interactions  I asked them to stick to facts
[02:57.60]Made a trade and gave them everything that I packed
[03:00.16]Now there's a brick through your window  kid  sift through the glass
[03:03.17]Notice the note in which the brick was wrapped
[03:06.00]Explaining that I know how you're quick to the dash
[03:08.69]But it won't be very long before you slip in my trap
[03:11.48]Like a moth to the flame with its wings in the wax
[03:14.24]It's hard to escape with your limbs in a cast
[03:16.92]Your heart will deflate when your wrists both get slashed
[03:19.81]And gradually I snap these synapses in half
[03:22.66]Magnificent crescendo  the cymbals all crash
[03:25.48]You'll pay for your deeds  but we don't accept cash
[03:28.28]We will mix and match this for that  tit for tat
[03:30.92]Gonna get it  get it back  gonna getcha getcha back
