The Bug Lyrics

(originally by Mark Knopfler)

 well it's a strange old game - you learn it slow
   one step forward and it's back to go
   you're standing on the throttle
   you're standing on the breaks
   in the groove 'til you make a mistake

   sometimes you're the windshield
   sometimes you're the bug
   sometimes it all comes together baby
   sometimes you're a fool in love
   sometimes you're the louisville slugger
   sometimes you're the ball
   sometimes it all comes together baby
   sometimes you're going to lose it all

   you gotta know happy - you gotta know glad
   because you're gonna know lonely
   and you're gonna know bad
   when you're rippin' and a ridin'
   and you're coming on strong
   you start slippin' and slidin'
   and it all goes wrong because

   sometimes you're the windshield
   sometimes you're the bug
   sometimes it all comes together baby
   sometimes you're a fool in love
   sometimes you're the louisville slugger baby
   sometimes you're the ball
   sometimes it all comes together baby
   sometimes you're going to lose it all

   one day you got the glory
   one day you got none
   one day you're a diamond
   and then you're a stone
   everything can change
   in the blink of an eye
   so let the good times roll
   before we say goodbye, because

   sometimes you're the windshield
   sometimes you're the bug
   sometimes it all comes together baby
   sometimes you're a fool in love
   sometimes you're the louisville slugger baby
   sometimes you're the ball
   sometimes it all comes together baby
   sometimes you're going to lose it all
