Get A Grip

Got to get a grip

Skin and bones, it ain't such a pity

If you think I'm vain, better shut ya lip

I can't explain how to be a fat city

You gotta live large, gotta let it rip

Skin and bones, it ain't such a pity

Don't ya gimme no flack, honey shut ya lip

Ya gotta have stones if you're livin' in the city

If ya wanna hang loose, gotta get a grip - rip

Once upon a crime I thought I was cool

But I don't want to brag

Once I crossed the line I think I musta

Zigged when I shoulda zagged

Got to get a grip

Skin and bones, it ain't such a pity

If you think I'm vain, better shut ya lip

I can't explain how to be a fat city

You gotta live large, gotta let it rip

Same old, same old every day

If things don't change you're just gonna rot

'Cause if you do what you've always done

You've always get what you've always got

(Uuh, could that be nothing)

Got to get a grip

Skin and bones, it ain't such a pity

If you think I'm vain, better shut ya lip

I can't explain how to be a fat city

You gotta live large, gotta let it rip

Skin and bones, it ain't such a pity

Don't ya gimme no flack, honey shut ya lip

Ya gotta have stones if you're livin' in the city

Skin and bones, it ain't such a pity

Don't ya gimme no flack, honey shut ya lip

Ya gotta have stones if you're livin' in the city

If ya wanna hang loose, gotta get a grip

Who knows for sure without a doubt

What goes on when the lights go out

Or who pulls in when I pull out

And what is a one-eyed trouser trout

I was so shortsighted

Now the wrong been righted

I feel so delighted

I get so excited

Got to get a grip

Skin and bones, it ain't such a pity

If you think I'm vain, better shut ya lip

I can't explain how to be a fat city

You gotta live large, gotta let it rip

Skin and bones, it ain't such a pity

Don't ya gimme no flack, honey shut ya lip

Ya gotta have stones if you're livin' in the city

If ya wanna hang loose, gotta get a grip

You wanna get high in a new york minute

Don't ya gimme no flack, honey shut ya lip

Choke that smoke, honey crack the whip

Your head gets dead as long as you're in it

You wanna hang loose, gotta get a grip

Skin and bones, it ain't such a pity

Don't ya gimme no flack, honey shut ya lip

Ya gotta have stones if you're livin' in the city
