Failing Upwards

Playin’ both sides at the same time

Making the scene

Ain’t gonna wait in no line

You’re VIP

Inside the lights are bright

You shine like a star

But good looks and boyish charm

Only get you so far

That’s failing upwards

Talking out both sides of your mouth

You’re the green machine

Big wind gonna blow down your house

Done dirty deeds

Inside the lights are bright

You shine like a star

But good looks and boyish charm

only get you so far

Failing upwards in an empty suit

And your rhinestone studded boots

Time to pull your golden parachute

Before you’re found out in cahoots

That’s failing upwards
