Johnny Sebastian – Only Take One

Johnny Sebastian – Only Take One Lyrics

Artist: Johnny Sebastian
Song: Only Take One

〈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)
That’s why you only take one (one)
You only take one (one)

You only take 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
He said we took two and had to repay him

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

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
Only take one
Only take one
