Leg Walking

I walked with my legs
straight into nightmares
never saw another person 
coming up the stairs

- Come to get me like that

Breathed through my ankles
lived from a rucksack
slept in the tree house
and walked like a quack quack

- But don't you quote me on that

Take three steps at a time
never need no crutch
didn't want a brother
wasn't asking for much

- They'll never get me like that

I think it's time
and I wish it was time
to let me go home
so let me go home now
