slip and roll

you went from moonlighting

but you came out fighting

i saw you larger than life

throwing your knife

gone into deep hiding

but you were so charming

that it was disarming

i wondered what was behind

having to find

an army that keeps arming

oh

slip and roll

honey

stick the jab

kid

don't just trade punches

like your father did

cause this playing the odds

isn't fooling the gods

so slip and roll til you're willing to take the hit

so we just keep hoping

although the deck's sloping

you're thinking

throw me a bone

or leave me alone

to do what they call coping

oh

slip and roll

honey

stick the jab

kid

don't just trade punches

like your father did

cause this playing the odds

isn't fooling the gods

so slip and roll til you're willing to take the hit

and you can take it

take it

take it

take it

we've all seen that guy take it on the chin

oh

take it

take it

i know you can take it

but when will you take something in

oh

slip and roll

honey

stick the jab

kid

don't just trade punches

like your father did

cause this playing the odds

isn't fooling the gods

so slip and roll til you're willing to take the hit

and you can take it

take it

take it

take it

we've all seen that guy take it on the chin

oh

take it

take it

i know you can take it

but when will you take something in

when will you take something in
