Born Tight Lyrics

Catch a tiger by the toe
And when it bites you, don't let go
You bite it back so it knows
That you're wild and you're born on a tightrope

Build a fortress up on a hill
Find a love that fits the bill
Sometimes it never will
So you burn it down and you notch the kill

Mama Mama, Mama Mama Mama
Can't help you now!
(Be brave)

Mama Mama, Mama Mama Mama
Can't help you now!
(Be brave)

Mama Mama, Mama Mama Mama
Can't help you now!
(Be brave)

Mama Mama, Mama Mama Mama
Can't help you now!

You wear your fears up on your shoulders
Like a bird with the weight of a boulder
Will you pretend the pretense is over?
Will you let your anger smolder?

When my mind gets old and decrepit
And my heart forgets how to forgive
Hide a bullet in my nose
And whisper that I was born on a tightrope

Mama Mama, Mama Mama Mama
Can't help you now!
(Be brave)

Mama Mama, Mama Mama Mama
Can't help you now!
(Be brave)

Mama Mama, Mama Mama Mama
Can't help you now!

And the only thing that I ever learned to be true was that:

(Be brave)
(Be brave)
Girls just wanna have fun!
(Be brave)
Girls just wanna have fun!
(Be brave)
Girls just wanna have fun!
(Be brave)
Girls just wanna have fun!
(Be brave)
(Be brave)
(Be brave)

Aah!

Based in Philadelphia, PA, Man Man is an experimental indie band that incorporates Eastern European and circus-esque styles in their music, creating a unique sound. The band consists of Honus Honus (lead vocals, piano, percussion), Pow Pow (drums, auxiliary percussion), Critter Crat (aka Cougar) (guitar, trumpet, bass, marimba, vocals), Organ Freeman (synth, organ, accordion, vocals), and Chang Wang (alto sax, bari sax, vibraphone, melodica, flute, percussion, vocals).

Their style has been compared to a mixture of Tom Waits, Frank Zappa, and Captain Beefheart. Man Man is known for their distinctive live shows where the members of the band dress in white tennis outfits and don war paint. During their sets the band does not take breaks between songs in order to keep a constant energy level.

Man Man has released two LPs with Ace Fu Records: The Man in the Blue Turban With a Face (2004) and Six Demon Bag (2006). In November 2007 they signed with Anti- to release Rabbit Habits (2008). Their second Anti- release is titled Life Fantastic and was released in 2011. Read more on Last.fm.
