Fingers In The Grease
Feelin' your way
inch by inch
sometimes you feel velvet
sometimes the pinch
and sometimes you don't feel nothin'
at all
Gotta oil the machinery, get to know
the cogs and the bolts and the wheels that go
to make the whole thing run the crease
Gotta get yer
fingers in the grease
Gotta shed some sweat
let your soul accrue
you gotta get wet and then get dry too
gotta get blooded
you gotta lot of things to do!
Gotta get a little messy
gotta get obscene
before you have a clue
to what the preacher man mean
when he say...
you gotta' make your peace
Gotta get yer
fingers in the grease
You gotta build with bricks
gotta knock 'em down
play the fool
gotta cry with the clown
you gotta get your country fingers
black in the town
Gotta dish some dirt
gotta swallow some too
you gotta feed the animals 'n' burn down the zoo
you gotta make amends 'n' plan 'n' play the kazoo
Feeling your way
pleading for release
rollin' in the hay
slippin' in the grease
in the grease
Gotta get yer
fingers in the grease
fingers in the grease
fingers in the grease
gotta get yer
fingers in the grease
Feelin' your way, inch by inch
sometimes you feel velvet and sometimes the pinch
feelin' your way, inch by inch
sometimes you feel velvet and sometimes the pinch
