I'd pass the salt if I could shake, whoa
I'd blitz your waltz and halve for blame
Oh, just know 
My limps and lisps and lays for laughs
My chin and chance and churl are glass
Alright? So send in the drones
And check yourself, aight? (Alright)
Just send in the drones, alright

I warned you, yeah
It's kind bluff
You ain't so tough, so far from home
Alone, lone, lone, lone, lone
Alone, lone, lone, lone, lone
Alone, lone, alone, lone
Alone, alone

I'd take you upon fates and frolic, whoa
I'd lollygag and crack some colic
Thar' she blows

My dinks and dings and dangs say bold
My gags and gaffes and grinds gird slow
Alright? Send in the drones
And check yourself, aight? (Alright)
Just send in the drones, alright

I warned you, yeah
It's a blind bluff
You ain't so tough, so far from home
Alone, lone, lone, lone, lone
Alone, lone, lone, lone, lone
Alone, lone, alone, lone
Alone, alone

Alone, lone, lone, lone, lone
Alone, lone, lone, lone, lone
Alone, lone, alone, lone
Alone, alone (alone)

Check yourself, alright?
