Slip And Roll Lyrics - Charmer - Aimee Mann

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
