Break out your bottle, be in trouble by noon
  Never get satisfaction cause ya boil too soon
  Them downtown chippies know your weight to the ounce
  But the harder you fall, Jack, the higher you bounce!
    Stoke up your get, be ready to ride
  Keep your head and your heart inside
  Take it as far as you wanna go
  Until we can't see the desert for the burning snow
    But if you're in a hurry, I really go to go,
  If you're in a hurry, might have to find out slow
  That it's one thing to try, another to fly,
  You get there quicker just a step at a time,
  It's one thing to bark and another to bite,
  The show ain't over til you pack up at night.
    Ah well, ninety-nine people all running around
  Not one in a hundred got his feet on the ground,
  In fact one in a thousand holding some in reserve
  For when the real, true action comes around the curve.
    Take care of your people, get some of them fed
  Hide the ones in trouble out under your bed
  Keep an eye to the future, an ear to the past
  Cause after thinkin' it over, know there's nothing much lasts.
    So if you're in a hurry, I really go to go
  If you're in a hurry, might have to find out slow
  That it's one thing to try, another to fly,
  You get there quicker just a step at a time,
  It's one thing to bark and another to bite,
  The show ain't over til you pack up at night.
    Don't ever let it get the best of you
  Plan what you can, let the rest shine through
  Just so many angles you can possibly see
  Got to figure on those let the other ones be
    Don't be a collector of more than you need
  Got a lot of things growing but keep watching your seeds
  Got to sprout in December what you planted in May
  If the harvest is empty, find some other good way
    But if you're in a hurry, I really go to go,
  If you're in a hurry, might have to find out slow
  That it's one thing to try, another to fly,
  You get there quicker just a step at a time,
  It's one thing to bark and another to bite,
  The show ain't over til you pack up at night.
