"Frying Pan"

don't think big, man
i can't think little
won't let that end catch me up in the middle
now, my whole life has been the toss of a dice
done another girl gone out of my life
out of the frying pan into the fire
anything you say, they're gonna call you a lair
go downtown now
walk around
the man comes up, says he's gonna put me down
you try to succeed to fulfill your need
get hit by a car, the people watch you bleed
out of the frying pan into the fire
anything you say, they're gonna call you a liar
watch what you do now
think what you're saying
if you get crossed up you're gonna end up paying
ain't no use, I'm gonna cut it all loose
i made a mistake, i can't get no break
out of the frying pan into the fire
anything you say, they're gonna call you a liar
