Slip And Roll

You went from moonlighting

But you came out fighting

I saw you larger than life

Throwing your knife

Gone into deep hiding



But you were so charming

That it was disarming

I wondered what was behind

Having to find

An army that keeps arming



Oh, slip and roll, honey

Stick the jab, kid

Don't just trade punches

Like your father did

Cause this playing the odds

Isn't fooling the gods

So slip and roll 'til you're willing to take the hit



So we just keep hoping

Although the deck's sloping

You're thinking, Throw me a bone

Or leave me alone

To do what they call coping



Oh, slip and roll, honey

Stick the jab, kid

Don't just trade punches

Like your father did

Cause this playing the odds

Isn't fooling the gods

So slip and roll 'til you're willing to take the hit



And you can take it, take it, take it, take it

We've all seen that guy take it on the chin

Oh, take it, take it, I know you can take it

But when will you take something in



Oh, slip and roll, honey

Stick the jab, kid

Don't just trade punches

Like your father did

Cause this playing the odds

Isn't fooling the gods

So slip and roll 'til you're willing to take the hit



And you can take it, take it, take it, take it

We've all seen that guy take it on the chin

Oh, take it, take it, I know you can take it

But when will you take something in

When will you take something in
