Slippery People by Talking Heads

What about the time?
You were rollin' over
Fall on your face
You must be having fun

Walk lightly
Think of a time
You'd best believe
This thing is real

Put away that gun
This part is simple
Try to recognize
What is in you mind

God help us
Help us lose our minds
These slippery people
Help us understand

What's the matter with him? He's alright
I see his face, the Lord won't mind
Don't play no games, he's alright
Love from the bottom to the top

Turn like a wheel, he's alright
See for yourself, the Lord won't mind
We're gonna move right now
Turn like a wheel inside a wheel

I remember when
Sittin' in the tub
Pulled out the plug
The water was runnin' out

Cool down
Stop acting crazy
They're gonna leave
And we'll be on our own

Seven times five
They were living creatures
Watch 'em come to life
Right before your eyes

Backsliding
How do you do?
These slippery people
Gonna see you through

What's the matter with him? He's alright
How do you know the Lord won't mind?
Don't play no games, he's alright
Love from the bottom to the top

Turn like a wheel, he's alright
See for yourself the Lord won't mind
We're gonna move right now
Turn like a wheel inside a wheel

What's the matter with him? He's alright
I see his face, the Lord won't mind
How do you know he's alright?
Love from the bottom to the top

Turn like a wheel, he's alright
See for yourself the Lord won't mind
We're gonna move right now
Turn like a wheel inside a wheel

What's the matter with him? He's alright
I see his face, the Lord won't mind
How do you know he's alright?
Love from the bottom to the top

Turn like a wheel, he's alright
See for yourself the Lord won't mind
We're gonna move right now
Turn like a wheel inside a wheel
