Dire Straits - The Bug

The Bug

Well its a strange old game - you learn it slow
One step forward and its back to go
you are standing on the throttle
you are standing on the brakes
In the groove til you make a mistake
Sometimes you are the windshield
Sometimes you are the bug
Sometimes it all comes together baby
Sometimes you are a fool in love
Sometimes you are the louisville slugger
Sometimes you are the ball
Sometimes it all comes together baby
Sometimes you are going lose it all
You gotta know happy - you gotta know glad
Because you are gonna know lonely
And you are gonna know bad
When you are rippin and a ridin
And you are coming on strong
You start slippin and slidin
And it all goes wrong because
Sometimes you are the windshield
Sometimes you are the bug
Sometimes it all comes together baby
Sometimes you are a fool in love
Sometimes you are the louisville slugger baby
Sometimes you are the ball
Sometimes it all comes together baby
Sometimes you are going lose it all
One day you got the glory
One day you got none
One day you are a diamond
And then you are a stone
Everything can change
In the blink of an eye
So let the good times roll
Before we say goodbye, because
Sometimes you are the windshield
Sometimes you are the bug
Sometimes it all comes together baby
Sometimes you are a fool in love
Sometimes you are the louisville slugger baby
Sometimes you are the ball
Sometimes it all comes together baby
Sometimes you are going lose it all
