O_K"Cover all the bases" in lyrics
The Silencers (USA) - Stolen Faces
I see some people
Dinin', dancin', using up your graces
In-house beatings cover all of the bases
Private lives exposed to mutations
Nuclear Bubble Wrap - Inyourendo
And from that point on, the conversation will go south
So experiment a bit and then you will be on a roll
You've gotta cover all the bases and fill up all the holes
