Crooked Ways - Slick Van Ryker Lyrics

We always thought he walked on water
I'd even say he has it all
Rockin' full moon eyes and a smile that implies man
He never had to pay the toll

Slick's always whippin' out the Sunday best
But not before you're second-guessin' your own mess
We try and we try, but man this ain't a lie
Keepin' up with Slick Van Ryker is a hell of a test

I wanna go, he got me thinkin'
Walk the other side but keeping my own name
I wanna go, not thinkin'
The grass is always greener, why stay the same?

One, two, check, I'm alive
Can anybody spare me some change?
Make that life all mine
Give it to me Jimmy, just like novocaine
And I, I, just need a little time
Time for something now to break

I try to match him always askin' what is in a soul
That makes them be so great and isn't rock and roll
Jet black hair and things all in line
He's looking like he's from another kind of sky

I wanna go, he got me thinkin'
Walk the other side but keeping my own name
I wanna go, not thinkin'
The grass is always greener, why stay the same?

One, two, check, I'm alive
Can anybody spare me some change?
Make that life all mine
Give it to me Jimmy, just like novocaine
And I, I, just need a little time
Time for something now to break

Don't come inside, you'll want to see
What's standing right in front of me
The one you think you cannot be
But you are him and he is me

One, two, check, I'm alive
Can anybody spare me some change?
Make that life all mine
Give it to me Jimmy, just like novocaine
One, two, check, I'm alive
Can anybody spare me some change?
Make that life all mine
Give it to me Jimmy, just like novocaine
And I, I, just need a little time
Time for something now to break
