Falling Up |
I’m gonna lower my standards and raise my price |
I’m gonna take your lunch and your bad advice |
Until my worse idea gets the big reward |
Until I get out of this raggedy Ford |
And into a shiny new two seater |
Dress my girlfriend up like a cheetah |
I’m gonna sign my checks: Yours sincerely |
For all the money that you hold dearly |
When my ego swells and my output dwindles |
You can tell the world that youve been swindled |
By the man who would have been so bitter |
Had he never reconsidered |
Falling up |
To the top of the junk pile wearing a big smile |
Falling up |
To the top of the heap with my tongue in cheek |
I can’t sit down cause I’m falling up |
Well I used to think that I had some duty |
Now I only want the booty |
And unless youve recently been anointed |
Then dont tell me youre disappointed |
In the man who would have been so bitter |
Had he never reconsidered |
Now I pay no mind to innovation |
Just over and over with the same sensation |
Till I’m a short short subject on a long tape loop |
That comes and goes like the hula hoop |
In one ear and out the other |
Nothing there to stop it, brother |
Falling up |
