Songtext Flip Barenaked Ladies

Flip

I could be a little devil
Or I could be a little saint
I kind of like it in the middle
Is you is, or is you ain't?

Nothing's indelible
Everything is sellable
Whether you’re an animal or vegetable or mineral
It’s criminal to think, it drives a man to drink
Am I coming off like my hits don’t stink

Come on flip (flip)
Bend a little bit, maybe get wise to a new tip
Come on flip (flip)
Take a little trip, see another side of the same ship
This is the church, this is the steeple
Turn up the lights, see all my people
Com? on flip (flip)
Take it for a rip, you’re nev?r gonna fly till you lose your grip

Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh oh

Am I living in a bubble?
Am I really out of touch?
Do you think I’ll get in trouble
If I talk too much?

Am I too cynical, a bit too clinical?
Maybe that pinnacle's unwinnable subliminal
Original sin, you’ll tell me where you’ve been
Can we get a do over and start again?

I can’t understand it for you
But I’ll try to explain

Come on flip (flip)
Bend a little bit, maybe get wise to a new tip
Come on flip (flip)
Take a little trip, see another side of the same ship
This is the church, this is the steeple
Turn up the lights, see all my people
Come on flip (flip)
Take it for a rip, you’re never gonna fly till you lose your grip

Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh oh

Ooh, look at the stars
Some of them are long gone
And yet there they are
And so it goes
Because we believe it
It doesn’t make it so

Come on flip (flip)
Bend a little bit, maybe get wise to a new tip
Come on flip (flip)
Take a little trip, see another side of the same ship
This is the church, this is the steeple
Turn up the lights, see all my people
Come on flip (flip)
Take it for a rip, you’re never gonna fly till you lose your grip

Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh oh

Flip!
