[Verse 1] Steps so heavy, you shake the pine But you're walking a straight and narrow line Let a friend show you how the shadows bend A little shortcut around the bend Keep your head low, mimic my stride We’ve got the whole dark woods on our side [Chorus] You’ve got that mountain in your chest, my friend But you don't know where the boundaries end You mimic the storm but you miss the path With that borrowed thunder in your laugh Yeah, borrowed thunder in your laugh [Verse 2] Hear the brassy whistle of the autumn wind? That's where the clever games begin A little swagger, a tipped-back hat The bigger they are, the harder they flat Just watch my tail, don't miss a beat The earth is soft beneath our feet [Chorus] You’ve got that mountain in your chest, my friend But you don't know where the boundaries end You mimic the storm but you miss the path With that borrowed thunder in your laugh Yeah, borrowed thunder in your laugh [Outro] Just a little whisper, just a little slide Step light, big guy, let the trickster guide Borrowed thunder... But who’s got the key? [Instrumental: trumpet-like synth fade-out]
