Flip - Barenaked Ladies

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?

C’mon flip

(Flip)

Bend a little bit

Maybe get wise to a new tip

C’mon 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

C’mon flip

(Flip)

Take it for a rip

You’re never gonna fly til you lose your grip

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

Yo, tell me where you been

Can we get a do-over and start again?

I can’t understand it for you

But I’ll try to explain

C’mon flip

(Flip)

Bend a little bit

Maybe get wise to a new tip

C’mon 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

C’mon flip

(Flip)

Take it for a rip

You’re never gonna fly til you lose your grip

Oohhh, look at the stars

Some of them are long gone

And yet, there they are

Oohhh, and so it goes

Because we believe it

It doesn’t make it so

So?

So?

So?

C’mon flip

(Flip)

Bend a little bit

Maybe get wise to a new tip

C’mon 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

C’mon flip

You’re never gonna fly til you lose your grip
