The Blow Monkeys - Superfly lyrics

Darkest of night And the moon shining bright There's a set going strong Lotta things going on The man of the hour Has an air of great power The dudes have envied him for so long Ooh, Superfly You're gonna make your fortune by and by But if you lose, don't ask no questions why The only game you know is Do or Die Ah-ha-ha, ha, ay Hard to understand What a hell of a man This cat from the slum Had a mind, wasn't dumb But a weakness was shown 'Cause his hustle was wrong His mind was his own But the man lived alone Ah, Superfly You're gonna make your fortune by and by And if you lose, don't ask no questions why The only game you know is Do or Die Ah-ha-ha, ha, ay The game he plays, he plays for keeps (Plays for keeps) Hustling time and ghetto streets Trying to get over (Over) Taking all that he can take (He can take) Gambling with the hands of fate Trying to get over (Over, yeah) Just trying to get over (Over) Just trying to get over (Over) I'm just trying ta get over, over (Trying to get over) Ooh, Superfly Mm-hmm, yeah Well, the aim of his role Was to move a bit of blow Ask him his dream What does it mean? He wouldn't know "Can't be like the rest" Is the most he will confess But the time's running out And there's no happiness Oh, baby, Superfly You're gonna make your fortune by and by But if you lose, don't ask no questions why The only game you know is Do or Die Ah-ha-ha, ha, ay Superfly I'm just trying to get over I'm just trying to get over Trying to get over I'm just trying to get over, over Oh, I'm just trying to get over I'm just trying to get over I'm just trying to get over Mmm, I'm just trying to get over, over I'm just trying to get, oh... Ow!
