Flippin'

Danny Peck


Flippin' my fingers 
Down a moonlight highway 
Backdrop, back lit 
Shiver to my toes 
When I see you coming baby 
I start running 
Back to the road 
Deep in the river 
That flows so fast 
I almost went by you 
I almost went past 
But your lips said boy 
And I stayed for dinner 
Then I was your lover 
Then I was your dinner 
But I ain't no beginner baby 
Look at my hands 
Cause I'm flippin' my finger 
To a world of memories 
Staying alive 
By the skin of my ass 
Ain't no one's possession 
Or somebody's prisoner 
Only the bastard 
At the head of the class 
The ones who sing harder 
Even if it hurts you 
The ones who keep singing 
Better cover your ears 
I'll sing so loud 
I'll break all your china 
And turn your indifference 
To a window of tears 
Crying for me baby 
Cause you're crying for your freedom 
Crying for the note 
That I sang in your ear 
A note I can't remember 
And I'll search for it forever 
And that's what the fuck 
I'm doing right here
