Up and Away

Sometimes it seems like the world's spinning just for me

Still not convinced that it isn't

In my universe, you could do much worse

Delusionality is living the dream

It's hard to cover much ground with your head in the clouds

Yet I seem so determined

Permanent vocation is looming imminent

The time must come to flagellate childish flings

When I was young, I was infinite

I wore the sky like a big, bright, blue bonnet

But my thoughts all got lost in it

Up, up, up, up, up, up and away

Up, up, up, up, up, up and away

Up, up, up, up, up, up and away, now

I never held a good wife, never held a good job

Never saw the pyramids of Giza

And the list goes on, like a marathon

Into the ether all of our years drift

Up, up, up, up, up, up and away

Up, up, up, up, up, up and away

Up, up, up, up, up, up and away

I thought I'd have a nice lake house

I thought I'd have a few tykes running 'round my legs

Sipping hurricanes in the shade

Whatever happened to big skies

I guess our fortunes are finite

Letting go of the notions I had as a boy

Red balloons float into the void

Up, up, up, up, up, up and away

Up, up, up, up, up, up and away

Up, up, up, up, up, up and away, now

Up, up, up, up, up, up and away

Up, up, up, up, up, up and away

Up, up, up, up, up, up and away, now
