Hang On To Yourself
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Well, she's a tongue-twisting storm
She'll come to the show tonight
Praying to the light machine
She wants my honey, not my money
She's a funky-thigh collector
Laying on electric dreams
Well, come on, come on
We've really got a good thing going
Well, come on, well, come on
If you think we're gonna make it
You better hang on to yourself
We can't dance, we don't talk much, we just ball and play
But then we move like tigers on Vaseline
Well, the bitter comes out better on a stolen guitar
You're The Blessed, we're The Spiders From Mars
Well, come on, come on
We've really got a good thing going
Well, come on, well, come on
If you think we're gonna make it
You better hang on to yourself
Come on
Lay it on
Yeah, come on, come on
We've really got a good thing going
Well, come on, well, come on
If you think we're gonna make it
You better hang on to yourself
Well, come on, come on
We've really got a good thing going
Well, come on, well, come on
If you think we're gonna make it
You better hang on to yourself
Come on, ah, come on, ah
Come on, ah, come on, ah
Come on, ah, come on, ah
Come on, ah, come on, ah
Come on, ah, come on, ah
Come on, ah, come on, ah
Come on, ah, come on, ah
Come on, ah, come on, ah
Come on, ah, come on, ah
Come on, ah, come on, ah
