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 
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 

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 
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 
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 
If ya wanna hang loose, gotta get a grip
