Lyrics

[Intro] Well, I ain't sure, but I've been told He's baking cakes inside our souls Stayed awake, took a nap Got myself my bottles back I'm breakin' them out on the street Walkin' 'round in my own bare feet I do not need you to tell me that I'm not a cat I caught a ride, we caught some air He's never gonna cut his hair It takes more time to make a fake We night swam down in the lake And washed the dirt off our intentions Prattled on 'bout bad inventions [Verse 1] I came as ice, I came as a whore I came as advice that came too short I came as gold, I came as crap I came clean and I came as a rat [Pre-Chorus] It takes a long time, but God dies too But not before he'll stick it to you [Chorus] Well, I don't know, but I been told You'll never die and you'll never grow old [Hook] Huh-uh, oh Huh-uh, oh Huh-uh, oh Huh-uh, huh-uh, huh-uh, huh-uh Huh-uh, oh Huh-uh, oh Huh-uh, oh Huh-uh, huh-uh, huh-uh, huh-uh [Verse 2] I came as a call, I came as flat I came too soon, so I came back I came as flowers, I came as nice I came as dirt, and I came as its price [Pre-Chorus] It takes a long time, but God dies too But not before he'll stick it to you [Chorus] I don't know, but I've been told You never die and you'll never grow old [Hook] Huh-uh, oh Huh-uh, oh Huh-uh, oh Huh-uh, huh-uh, huh-uh, huh-uh Huh-uh, oh Huh-uh, oh Huh-uh, oh Huh-uh, huh-uh, huh-uh, huh-uh [Instrumental Outro]
