They bought me a suit
Gave me fifty dollars
Gone today, I'll be here tomorrow
Need a leap of faith, or a jump of stupid
Either way, don't know what I'm doing
Time, in time
You hear my footsteps
Time, time
Baby, hear my footsteps
Well, it's heads, I win
Tails, we flip again
I bluffed and lost
Hated, so they win
Asking you, smile for the people
Just passing through the eye of a needle
Time, in time
You'll hear my footsteps
Time, time
In time, you'll hear my footsteps
Walk a thousand feet
I'm so afraid to be free
Won't wait for a girl
Honey you're mistaken
Weight of the world,
Leave my shoulders aching
Every night it's gone
Ain't sure what I had
I'm gonna clap for myself
Think with my hands
A leap of faith or a jump of stupid
Either way, don't know what I'm doing
If you follow me around
With a tape recorder
I'm sure you'll get a load of footsteps
Feel my footsteps
Footsteps
Footsteps
