Janis Ian Get Ready To Roll lyrics

Play it low in the pocket
Something`s just gotta break
You`ve been waiting so long for success
It`s a shame it`s gonna come too late

Baby, fly like a rocket
Shoot it out in stages from the mother ship
It`s too bad you gotta lose what you had
And when you cruise
You gotta shoot it from the hip
Or you give `em all the slip

And it`s too bad
Hear they got you shootin` with a crooked cue
Hmm, somebody really got it in for you
When the night runs down all over town
And everybody`s lost control
Get ready to roll
Get ready to roll

Play it high on the hip
Something`s just got to give
Hold that .38 ready `til she really looks steady
Then just let her rip

Put some powder in your eyes
Just before that contact`s made
How it must hurt to pervert
What the curtain can`t hide
From that fire in your eyes
But is it really a surprise?

And it`s too bad
Hear they got you shootin` with a crooked cue
Hmm, somebody really got it in for you
When the night runs down all over town
And everybody`s lost control
Get ready to roll
Get ready to roll
