Sometimes this life gives you the ball But you hand it to the other side What kind of man have I become Have I bottled up and sold my pride Well you know me I ain’t been goin’ nowhere On my slight hypocritical trip Well you know me I ain’t goin’ nowhere No real need to flip When it slip slip slips right away Down the hatch It slip slip slips right away And soon you don’t rate me
Sometimes a girl shows you the ball And then passes to the other side What kind of woman would do that Did she get lost somewhere down the line Well I know her she ain’t goin nowhere On her weak metaphysical kick Well I know her she ain’t goin’ nowhere I’ve no need to trip When it slip slip slips right away Down the hatch It slip slip slips right away And soon you don’t rate me And I don’t rate you
Sometimes this life gives you a sign But you’re struck temporarily blind What kind of man have I become Have I given up and lost my mind Well you know me I ain’t goin’ nowhere On my slight hypocritical trip Well you know me I ain’t been goin’ nowhere So don’t give me no lip When it slip slip slips right away Down the hatch It slip slip slips right away And soon you don’t rate me But I won’t hate you I’ll just remember how I used to make you laugh I can remember how I used to make you laugh
You see the long train runnin’ Whistle’s blown just to make you feel lonely and sad If you ain’t believin’ you better start retreating Or soon you’ll be a bleedin’ Go ask yer dad
