Get a grip
Get a grip on it
Try to stay on it, baby
Get a grip
Don't let up on it
Gotta get on it, baby

Get a grip
Get a grip on it
Try to stay on it, baby
Get a grip
Don't let up on it
Gotta get on it, baby

Floating
So high above the ground
Playing between the sound of perilous boundaries
Seek out confusing surroundings all around
Working
To gain some higher ground

Then there's a stranger
Keeps a-calling inside of my head
Wonderin' when there will come a time
The power of your love is all I want to find

A hit today is tomorrow's debt
And yesterday's a cancelled check
You do your best
Careful not to fall
Gotta stay one step ahead of them all

Get a grip
Get a grip on it
Try to stay on it, baby
Get a grip
Don't let up on it
Gotta get on it, baby

Get a grip, get a grip on it
Try to stay on it, baby
Get a grip
Don't let up on it
Gotta get on it, baby

Laying
The tracks of endless sound
The cost is high
But I got to do it anyhow
Total
Control is on my mind
It feels so right, I know it must be a sign
Working, to gain some higher ground

Then there's a stranger
Keeps a-calling inside of my head
Wonderin' when there will come a time
The power of your love is all I want to find

Ooh
Wanna find, wanna find love
I wanna find love
Wanna know, wanna know
Where there's love to find

A hit today is tomorrow's debt
And yesterday's a cancelled check
You do your best
Careful not to fall
Gotta stay one step ahead of them all

A hit today is tomorrow's debt
And yesterday's a cancelled check
You do your best
Careful not to fall
Gotta stay one step ahead of them all

Get a grip
G-g-get a grip on it
Try to stay on it, baby
(Try it for me)
Get a grip
Don't let up on it
Gotta get on it, baby

G-g-get a grip
