You a grand slammer
but you're no Babe Ruth
You gotta learn how to relate
I heard you swinging from the perly gate
I got all answers low and behold
You got the right key baby
but the wrong key hole, yo
Skin and bones, it ain't such a pity
Don't cha gimme no flack, honey shut ya lip
Ya gotta have stones if you're living 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
[Chorus]
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'll always get what you always got
Uh could that be nothin'
[Chorus]
Skin and bones, it ain't such a pity
Don't cha gimme no flack, honey shut ya lip
Ya gotta have stones if you're living in the city
If ya wanna hang loose gotta get a grip, rip
Who knows for sure yeah without a doubt
What goes on when the lights go out
Or who pulls in when I pull out
And what's a one eyed trouser trout?
I was so short sighted
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 vein, better shut ya lip
I can't explain how to be fat city
You gotta live large, gotta let it rip
Skin and bones, it ain't such a pity
Don't cha gimme no flack, honey shut ya lip
Ya gotta have stones if you're living 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, yea,
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 cha gimme no flack, honey shut ya lip
Ya gotta have stones if you're living in the city
If ya wanna hang loose gotta get a grip
The prince of lust has met his match
The witch has brewed her baddest batch
His sword is sharp and hard as stone
Her cauldron begs for one more bone
And so my love, this story's told
From modern times to days of old
From Boston Mass to Bangladesh
Yeah, when the night comes
Everybody's gotta have FLESH
It's got me all soakin' wet
FLESH - the only thing that's worth the sweat, yeah
From the Mississippi River
To the highest mountain in Tibet
Everybody gotta have...
FLESH - you got me all soakin' wet
FLESH - the only thing that's worth the sweat
FLESH - you got me all soakin' wet
FLESH - the only thing, the only thing, the only thing
From a suvie in a Rickshaw to a bimbo in a pink Corvette
Everybody gotta have...
Well, she says that she loves ya
In your mind there's no doubt, but
You feel like a stranger
When the lights go out
As you lie there awake
You think this ain't no gift
Don't try to figure that weight's too heavy to lift
You gotta . . . walk on down
Walk on down
Walk on down
When you're shit outta luck
There's just one thing to do and that's
Walk on down
Walk on down
'Cause I got no time to lose
It's my life if I choose
Put on my walkin' shoes
Walk on down
Walk on down
Walk on down
When you're shit outta luck
There's just one thing to do and that's
Walk on down
Walk on down
Walk on down
When you're shit outta luck
There's just one thing to do and that's
Walk on down
Walk on down
Walk on down
When you're shit outta luck
There's just one thing to do and that's
Walk on down
Any way I can steal it
Any way you can deal it to me
You know the pleasure's all mine
You gotta love it
You better own it
You gotta love it
And God knows it
You gotta shu uh shove it
I'm gonna make things happen
Goin' round'n, round'n, round'n, round'n,
round'n, round'n, round'n, round'n, round'n, round'n that's right
I wanna say you're a fire cracker
I wanna say you're a switch blade knife
You make your sex a career
Comin' down from an all night tripper
Pull your foot from the ruby slipper
'Cause you can't get there from here
You gotta love it
You better own it
You gotta love it
And God knows it
You gotta shu uh shove it
I'm gonna make things happen
Goin' round'n, round'n, round'n,
round'n, round'n, round'n, round'n, round'n,
round'n, round'n, round'n, round'n,
round'n, round'n, round'n, round'n, round'n,
round'n, round'n, round'n, round'n,
round'n, round'n, round'n, round'n, round'n
I got this feeling deep inside my gut
Overwhelming feeling of I know not what
One thing's for sure I ain't got time for those who can't relate
You gotta learn to love the midnight madness
You gotta revel in the good and badness
If ying 'n yang is your thing
What I gotta do to try and reach ya
Is it for real or just a double feature (fee cha)
So let's go throw the I Ching
You gotta love it
You wanna own it
You gotta love it
And God knows it
You gotta shu uh shove it
You gotta make things happen
Goin' round'n, round'n, round'n, round'n, round'n,
round'n, round'n, round'n, round'n, round'n, round'n
