Last chance: Could you make it baby if you only had one more one Fast break: You think the world is waiting while you’re gettin’ your bikini done Screen pass: Like a blind side tackle boiling up from way behind Cheap shot: You can feel it coming but you know it’s gonna blow your mind So you rock so - and you skank so - Well if you think so - why not say so
Trash talk: Now you tell your girlies that it’s nothin’ but a burnout buzz Chump change: When you pick up the pieces you don’t even know what it was Goose chase: A little runaround action just to keep the background pure Jump cut: To the grim conclusion that you never can tell for sure

It’s the god’s eye view Baby take a long hard look I was standing right there When they wrote in the book
