Aerosmith - Get a Grip
Chorus:
Got to get a grip
Skin and bones it ain't such a pity
If you think that I'm vain, better shut ya lip
I can't explain how to be a fat city
You gotta live large, better 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
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
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
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 is a one-eyed trouser trout?
I was so shortsighted
Now the wrong been righted
I feel so delighted
I get so excited
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
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 that whip
Your head gets dead
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
I got a rip in my pants and a hole in my brand new shoes
I got a Margarita nose and a breath full of Mad Dog Booze
Chorus:
I got the fever, fever, fever, fever
Yeah they threw me outta jail I tell ya it ain't fair
I tried to kiss the judge from the electrica' chair
Yeah we're all here 'cause we're not all there tonight
The guitar's cranked and the bass man's blown a fuse
And when the whole gang bangs tell me then what's your excuse?
Chorus
Fever gives ya lust with an appetite
It hits ya like the fangs from a rattlesnake bite
We're all here 'cause we're not all there tonight
We can't run away from trouble
There ain't no place that far
But if we do it right at the speed of light
There's the back seat of my car, caviar
I was feelin' so high I forgot what day
Now I'm feelin' low down even slow
Seems way to fast
And now the booze don't work
'Cause the drugs ran out of gas
Chorus
The buzz that you be gettin' from the
Crack don't last
I'd rather be O.D.in' on the
Crack of her ass
Yeah we're all here 'cause we're not
All there tonight
My first time ever lover
We fell asleep out on the lawn
And when I woke up I was all alone
Makin' love to the Crack of Dawn
So yo, I beg yo pardon sir,
The gangster of love rides again
You know I gotta chill
It gimme such a thrill
Like a burnin' plague
Yeah get outta my way
Fever may be Hell and a cross to bear
As long as I'm in heaven honey I don't care
You look so good baby look so fine
I tell you you're the image of a perfect crime
You get so tired holdin' on so tight
If you think you're goin' crazy
Well you may be right
Yeah we're all here 'cause we're not
All there that's right
There's something wrong with the world today
I don't know what it is
Something's wrong with our eyes
We're seeing things in a different way
And God knows it ain't His
It sure ain't no surprise
We're livin' on the edge
There's something wrong with the world today
The light bulb's getting dim
There's a melt down in the sky
If you can judge a wise man
By the color of his skin
Then mister you're a better man than I
Chorus:
We're livin on the edge
You can't help yourself from fallin'
Livin' on the edge
You can't help yourself at all
Livin' on the edge
You can't stop yourself from fallin'
Livin' on the edge
Tell me what you think about your situation
Complication - aggravation
Is getting to you
If chicken little tells you that the sky is fallin'
And even if it wasn't would you still come crawlin'
Back again?
I think you would my friend
Again & again & again & again & again
Something right with the world today
And everybody knows it's wrong
But we can tell 'em no or we can let it go
But I would rather be hanging on
Livin' on the edge (3 x's)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Livin' on the edge
You can't help yourself from fallin'
You can't help yourself at all
Livin' on the edge
You can't stop yourself from fallin'
Livin' on the edge
You can't help yourself (2 x's)
Livin' on the edge
You can't help yourself at all
You can't help yourself
Livin' on the edge
You can't stop yourself from fallin'
Livin' on the edge
The day rolls in, the night rolls out
Desire rules without a doubt
The heart beats fast, you salivate
And when you come it won't be late
I guess by now you got the score
A little taste if you want it more
From San Antone to Marrakesh
Yeah when the night comes
Everybody gotta have Flesh!
You got me all soakin' wet
Flesh! - The only thing that's worth the sweat
From the day that Eve did Adam
Down to Romeo and Juliet
Everybody gotta have...
The prince of lust has met his match
The witch has brewed the baddest batch
His sword is sharp and hard as stone
The cauldron begs for one more bone
And so my love, the story's told
From modern times to days of old
From Boston Mass. to Bangladesh
Yeah when the night comes
Everybody gotta have Flesh!
It's got me all soakin' wet
Flesh! - The only thing that's worth the sweat
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 Sufi in a rickshaw to a bimbo in a pink Corvette
Everybody gotta have...
You wonder why you got holes in your shoes
You wonder why they got more money than you
You wonder why you got nothin' to lose
It makes no sense, don't try to figure it out
You gotta...walk on down
Walk on down (2 x's)
Walk on down
When you're shit outta luck
There's just one thing to do and that's
Walk on down (3 x's)
When you're shit outta luck
There's just one thing to do and that's
Yeah, huh
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 (2 x's)
When you're shit outta luck
There's just one thing to do and that's
Walk on down (2 x's)
'Cause I got no time to lose
It's my life if I choose
Put on my walkin' shoes
Walk on down (3 x's)
When you're shit outta luck
There's just one thing to do and that's
Walk on down (3 x's)
When you're shit outta luck
There's just one thing to do and that's
Walk on down (3 x's)
When you're shit outta luck
There's just one thing to do and that's
Walk on down
Psychedelic sandwich
Any way that you can feel it
You shouldn't try to conceal it baby
You got to make up your mind
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 shove it
I'm gonna make things happen
Goin' 'round 'n, 'round 'n, 'round
I wanna say you're a fire cracker
I wanna say you're a switch blade knife
You make 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
I'm gonna make things happen
Goin' 'round 'n, 'round 'n, 'round
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 yin 'n yang is your thing
What I gotta do to try and reach ya
Is it for real or just a double feature
So let's go throw the I Ching
You gotta love it
You better own it
You gotta love it
And God knows it
I'm gonna make things happen
Goin' 'round 'n, 'round 'n, 'round
If you think that you're strong
Wanna fight then come on
And line up
When the going gets tough
And your talk ain't enough
Line up
We gotta get up, get out before they get us down
'Cause livin' up against the wall, yeah
Has got us locked up
Come on and line up
So don't be surprised when they pull the wool over yo eyes
Yeah don't get funked up
If you got the stuff
And you can't get enough
Then line up

Pick yo face up off the ground
And get yo self together baby
And learn to stand tough

Just standing around

If you're playing to win
And your only way in
