Slippery People - Mavis Staples, Win Butler, Regine Chassagne

What about the time you were rollin' over

Fall on your face, you must be having fun

Walk lightly, think of a time

You’d best believe this thing is real

Put away that gun, this part is simple

Try to recognize what is in your mind

God help us, help us lose our minds

These slippery people help us understand

What’s the matter with him?

(He's alright)

I see his face (The Lord won’t mind)

Don’t play no games (He's alright)

Love from the bottom to the top

Turn like a wheel (He's alright)

See for yourself (The Lord won’t mind)

We’re gonna move (Right now)

Turn like a wheel inside a wheel

I remember when sittin' in the tub

Pulled out the plug, the water was runnin' out

Cool down, stop actin' crazy

They’re gonna leave and we’ll be on our own

Seven times five, they were living creatures

Watch 'em come to life right before your eyes

Backsliding, how do you do?

These slippery people gonna see you through

What’s the matter with him?

(He's alright)

How do you know?

(The Lord won’t mind)

No, no, no games (He's alright)

Love from the bottom to the top

Turn like a wheel (He's alright)

See for yourself (The Lord won’t mind)

We’re gonna move (Right now)

Turn like a wheel inside a wheel

What’s the matter with him?

(He's alright)

I see his face (The Lord won’t mind)

How do you know?

(He's alright)

And we’re going to the top

Turn like a wheel (He's alright)

See for yourself (The Lord won’t mind)

We’re gonna move (Right now)

Turn like a wheel inside a wheel

What’s the matter with him?

(He's alright)

I see his face (The Lord won’t mind)

How do you know?

(He's alright)

Love from the bottom to the top

Turn like a wheel (He's alright)

See for yourself (The Lord won’t mind)

We’re gonna move (Right now)

Turn like a wheel inside a wheel
