Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Up in the morning, up in the evening
Pickin' down clocks when the birds get back to eat
Oh, to eat
Up on the mountain, down in the king's lair
Pushing these boxes in the heat of the afternoon
Oh, afternoon
[Verse 2]
We were never welcome here
We were never welcome here at all
No
[Verse 3]
It's who we are, doesn't matter if we've gone too far
Doesn't matter if it's all okay
Doesn't matter if it's not our day
Oh, won't you save us, what we are
Don't look clear, it's all uphill from here
Oh
[Verse 4]
Up in the attic, down in the cellar
Lost in a static, comin' back for more
Oh, for more
Out with the reason, in with the season
Takin' down names in my book of jealousy
Jealousy
[Verse 5]
We were never welcome here
We were never welcome here at all
No
[Verse 6]
It's who we are, doesn't matter if we've gone too far
Doesn't matter if it's all okay
Doesn't matter if it's not our day
Because it's who we are, doesn't matter if we've gone too far
Doesn't matter if it's all okay
Doesn't matter if it's not our day
[Verse 7]
Oh, won't you save us, what we are
Don't look clear, it's all uphill from here
Oh-oh-oh-oh
[Verse 8]
They say we're crazy, they say we're crazy
They say we're crazy, they say we're crazy
They say we're crazy, they say we're crazy
They say we're crazy, they say we're crazy
[Verse 9]
It's who we are, doesn't matter if we've gone too far
Doesn't matter if it's all okay
Doesn't matter if it's not our day
Because it's who we are, doesn't matter if we've gone too far
Doesn't matter if it's all okay
Doesn't matter if it's not our day
[Verse 10]
Oh, won't you save us, what we are
Don't look clear, it's all uphill from here
(They say we're crazy, they say we're crazy) Oh
