Rope-soul’d and walking away
Tie it tight and bind your feet
Rope-soul’d and walking away
Rope-soul’d and
Tie it tight and bind your feet
Get it right and make it feel
Sand in your shoe
Can suck up cold, can suck up snow for any day
Watch them travel, see how they run
Born walking, slow talking
Tie it tight and bind your feet
Get it right and make it
Ball walking, walking away
Rope-soul’d and lock it
Slipping and slithering and slipping away
Strip it down and glisten, glisten
And slipping, slipping
Rope-soul’d, walking away
Rope-soul’d, walking away
Rope-soul’d, walking away
