Don't Step on the Cracks

Don't Step on the Cracks

Growing up we spent our lives
slipping in and out of cracks
just 'cause our daddy loved his dives.
Growing up we spent our lives
somehow managing to survive
while covering the devil's tracks.
Growing up we spent our lives
slipping in and out of cracks.
