Get Sharp by The Limousines Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I know a couple jokes
But none as funny as the truth
I know some good folks
And some of them look just like you
I wear the right shoes
So I can outrun everyone
I got the right moves
Like an earthworm in the sun
[Chorus]
I gotta get sharp, get sharp
Cut in line right to the best part, best part
Pumping love into a dead heart, dead heart
Oh, my God
That's the feeling when the fingers go numb
That's the feeling when the feeling is gone
[Verse 2]
I'm gonna quit drugs
Stop drinking
Start reading books
I'll do a lot of thinking
I'll raise a couple kids
And teach them how to live
The way my mommy taught me
Before I hit the skids
I'll get my hair cut
Buy a cheap suit
I'll chase a pay stub
Guess it's what I gotta do
Go try and get hired
At a nine-to-five
Behind a desk in a high-rise
Filing cabinet in the sky
[Pre-Chorus]
Don't wait too long, dream's almost done
You blink and it's time to wake up
Don't wait too long, dream's almost done
You blink and it's time to wake up
Time to wake up
Time to wake up
[Chorus]
I gotta get sharp, get sharp
Cut in line right to the best part, best part
Pumping love into a dead heart, dead heart
Oh, my God
That's the feeling when the fingers go numb
[Bridge]
Maybe it's my slacker lack of motivation or whatever
Whatever
I never had a daddy tell me get my shit together
Whatever
I gotta get sharp, I gotta get sharp
[Chorus]
I gotta get sharp, get sharp
Cut in line right to the best part, best part
Pumping love into a dead heart, dead heart
Oh, my God
Oh, my God
[Outro]
Get sharp
Cut in line right to the best part
Pumping love into a dead heart
Oh, my God
That's the feeling when the feeling is gone
I know a couple jokes
But none as funny as the truth
I know some good folks
And some of them look just like you
I wear the right shoes
So I can outrun everyone
I got the right moves
Like an earthworm in the sun
[Chorus]
I gotta get sharp, get sharp
Cut in line right to the best part, best part
Pumping love into a dead heart, dead heart
Oh, my God
That's the feeling when the fingers go numb
That's the feeling when the feeling is gone
[Verse 2]
I'm gonna quit drugs
Stop drinking
Start reading books
I'll do a lot of thinking
I'll raise a couple kids
And teach them how to live
The way my mommy taught me
Before I hit the skids
I'll get my hair cut
Buy a cheap suit
I'll chase a pay stub
Guess it's what I gotta do
Go try and get hired
At a nine-to-five
Behind a desk in a high-rise
Filing cabinet in the sky
[Pre-Chorus]
Don't wait too long, dream's almost done
You blink and it's time to wake up
Don't wait too long, dream's almost done
You blink and it's time to wake up
Time to wake up
Time to wake up
[Chorus]
I gotta get sharp, get sharp
Cut in line right to the best part, best part
Pumping love into a dead heart, dead heart
Oh, my God
That's the feeling when the fingers go numb
[Bridge]
Maybe it's my slacker lack of motivation or whatever
Whatever
I never had a daddy tell me get my shit together
Whatever
I gotta get sharp, I gotta get sharp
[Chorus]
I gotta get sharp, get sharp
Cut in line right to the best part, best part
Pumping love into a dead heart, dead heart
Oh, my God
Oh, my God
[Outro]
Get sharp
Cut in line right to the best part
Pumping love into a dead heart
Oh, my God
That's the feeling when the feeling is gone
