[Verse 1]
When the deal going down
And you going to take your chance
There's always just a mystery
That locks you in a trance

[Chorus]
No matter what the future brings
You're booked and lawd, you're bound
Be stepping softly when you know
The deal is going down

[Verse 2]
When the deal go/going down
And the noose is being tied
Isn't no getting round it
Fade back and let it lie

[Chorus]
No matter what the future brings
You're booked and lawd, you're bound
Be stepping softly when you know
The deal is going down

[Chorus]
No matter what the future brings
You're booked and lawd, you're bound
Be stepping softly when you know
No matter what the future brings
You're booked and lawd, you're bound
Be stepping softly when you know
The deal is going down
Down
Down
I'm going down
Oh, down
