Slippery People
what about the time?
you were rollin' over
fall on your face
you must be having fun
walk lightly!
think of a time.
you'd best believe
this think is real
put away that gun
this part is simple
try to recognize
what is in you mind
god help us!
help us loose our minds
these slippery people
help us understand
what's the matter with him? he's alright!
i see his face the lord won't mind
don't play no games he's alright
love from the bottom to the top
turn like a wheel he's alright
see for yourself the lord won't mind
we're gonna move right now
turn like a wheel inside a wheel
i remember when
sittin' in the tub
pulled out the plug
the water was runnin' out
cool down
stop acting crazy
they're gonna leave
and we'll be on our own
seven times five
they were living creatures
watch 'em come to life
right before your eyes
backsliding!
how do you do?
these slippery people
gonna see you through
you were rollin' over
fall on your face
you must be having fun
walk lightly!
think of a time.
you'd best believe
this think is real
put away that gun
this part is simple
try to recognize
what is in you mind
god help us!
help us loose our minds
these slippery people
help us understand
what's the matter with him? he's alright!
i see his face the lord won't mind
don't play no games he's alright
love from the bottom to the top
turn like a wheel he's alright
see for yourself the lord won't mind
we're gonna move right now
turn like a wheel inside a wheel
i remember when
sittin' in the tub
pulled out the plug
the water was runnin' out
cool down
stop acting crazy
they're gonna leave
and we'll be on our own
seven times five
they were living creatures
watch 'em come to life
right before your eyes
backsliding!
how do you do?
these slippery people
gonna see you through
