Lyrics The Bug - Dire Straits

The Bug

Well it’s a strange old game — you learn it slow
One step forward and it’s back to go
You’re standing on the throttle
You’re standing on the breaks
In the groove 'til you make a mistake
Sometimes you’re the windshield
Sometimes you’re the bug
Sometimes it all comes together baby
Sometimes you’re a fool in love
Sometimes you’re the louisville slugger
Sometimes you’re the ball
Sometimes it all comes together baby
Sometimes you’re going to lose it all all the way
You gotta know happy — you gotta know glad
Because you’re gonna know lonely
And you’re gonna know bad
When you’re rippin' and a ridin'
And you’re coming on strong
You start slippin' and slidin'
And it all goes wrong because
Sometimes you’re the windshield
Sometimes you’re the bug
Sometimes it all comes together baby
Sometimes you’re a fool in love
Sometimes you’re the louisville slugger baby
Sometimes you’re the ball
Sometimes it all comes together
Sometimes you’re going to lose it all all the way
Then again do it
Right now
Then you got the glory
Then you got none
One day you’re a diamond
And then you’re a stone
Everything can change
In the blink of an eye
So let the good times roll
Before we say goodbye, because
Sometimes you’re the windshield
Sometimes you’re the bug yeah
Sometimes it all comes together baby
Sometimes you’re a fool in love
Sometimes you’re the louisville slugger, baby
Sometimes you’re the ball
Sometimes it all comes together baby
Sometimes you’re going to lose it all
Sometimes you’re the windshield
Sometimes you’re the bug yeah
Sometimes it all comes together baby
Sometimes you’re a fool in love
Sometimes you’re the louisville slugger, baby
Sometimes you’re the ball
Sometimes it all comes together baby
Sometimes you’re going to lose it all, all the way
Tonight, oh honey
Round it up, that’s right
