The Walkers

[Verse 1] They came out lean From the alley steam With a draggin' step And a hungry gleam Mama locked the door Daddy grabbed the pan I kissed your forehead Then I took my stand [Pre-Chorus] Hear that knock On the grocery glass Hear that moan When the shutters crash Hold my hand When the porch boards shake If we go down We go awake [Chorus] Lock, lock, lock the gate Lock, lock, lock it fast We dance with the dead tonight But we won't be last Lock, lock, lock the gate Keep your heart alive When the bones come tappin' hard We still get by [Verse 2] Trash cans tipped over At the corner store Old man Frank Ain't sleepy anymore His suit tore wide At the seam in back Now he want my pulse Like a late-night snack [Pre-Chorus] Hear that knock On the grocery glass Hear that moan When the shutters crash Hold my hand When the porch boards shake If we go down We go awake [Chorus] Lock, lock, lock the gate Lock, lock, lock it fast We dance with the dead tonight But we won't be last Lock, lock, lock the gate Keep your heart alive When the bones come tappin' hard We still get by [Bridge] If the sky goes red And the power dies I'll still find you By the fire in your eyes One last spin On a broken floor Till the cold hands reach We keep wanting more [Final Chorus] Lock, lock, lock the gate Lock, lock, lock it fast We dance with the dead tonight But we won't be last Lock, lock, lock the gate Keep your heart alive When the bones come tappin' hard We still get by Lock, lock, lock the gate Lock, lock, lock it fast We dance with the dead tonight But we won't be last Lock, lock, lock the gate Keep your heart alive When the bones come tappin' hard We still get by
