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
