On The Fly Lyrics

Give me a million and I will lose it all

Give me a soapbox, yeah, I'll lather it up and take the fall

I don't need no broken down cliché to state my case

But give me a burned-out bar, a slide guitar, and a pocket full of space



And it's true what they say

It's getting more crazy every day

And this old track don't take me back to dusty yesterday

And it's one for broken glass

You'll get your head out of your ass

This ain't no time for a sweet goodbye

I'll be better, better on the fly



Show me a bible, and I'll show you a lie

Show me a true love, lover, and I'll show you the other guy

Show me a preacher man, and I'll show you a bum

You'd give me paradise, but I'm here in the slum



And it's true what they say

It's getting more crazy every day

And this old track don't take me back to dusty yesterday

And it's one for broken glass

You'll get your head out of your ass

This ain't no time for a sweet goodbye

I'll be better, better off on the fly



Show me a mailman, and I'll show you an empty box

Take me to Stonehenge, and I'll show you just another pile of rocks

Show me a policeman, and I'll show you a black man's blood

They shot him for what he did not have

Right here in Hollywood



And it's true what they say

It's getting more crazy every day

And this old track don't take me back to dusty yesterday

And it's one for broken glass

You'll get your head out of your ass

This ain't no time for a sweet goodbye

I'll be better, better on the fly
