johnny sebastian - only take one lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
jimmy c and i were going into seventh grade
we never went near the swamp or passed our curfew or misbehaved
but halloween of 2015
jimmy and i wanted tricks not treats
we asked our mothers every day that week
until they both said

i trust in you two to go alone this year
don’t go near the swamp
be the big man, my dear
and if you make your way to the gothic place
on cruel avenue
be the big man, my dear
and never take two
[chorus]
that’s why you only take one (one)
only take one (one)
you only take one (one)
(one)

that’s why you only take one (one)
you only take one (one)
you only take one (one)
(one)

and i tell you if you take two
the boogeyman is gonna get you
he’ll skin you alive
that’s no fun
only take one

[verse 2]
now of course me and jimmy didn’t take that advice
that was the crucial mistake affecting the rest of our lives
jumping fences, beating up kids
egging houses, smashing pumpkins

then eventually we got to the house
we saw the “take one” sign and put two in our mouths
then we felt the bitter breeze of the wind
we saw a hand jut out and it pulled us in
jimmy and i then found ourselves strapped to chairs
a lanky figure hovering above us

[bridge]
the lanky figure gestured towards our spines and told us he would take ’em
(i’m the boogeyman)
he said we took two and had to repay him
(that seems only fair)
he said as he walked into light
with his garish face of nightmares he [?] me and jimmy’s eyes

his face turned into maggots but his voice still bellowed through our minds
he said
(the only way you two can make it out of here alive)
i sentence you to cut off two fingers of your choice
he handed us a rusty knife and told us to enjoy (enjoy)

so jimmy and i made it out alive
in swampview we’ve grown up
i live without my pinkies
jimmy lives without his thumbs
we both have kids, they ask us if our childhoods were fun
we tell them both if they approach the gothic place

[outro]
only take one
(one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one)
(one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one)
(one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one)
only take one
(one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one)
only take one
