Lyrics
The Scale
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I have seen them on the airplane
With their glances pointing nowhere
With their gadgets that look perfect
Never running out of battery
With their billions and their trillions
In the basements of their buildings
In their Volvos and their Audis
L.E.D. lights on the fast lane
Just ignore, just ignore
The race you were not looking for
Just ignore, just ignore
The count von count will keep the score
Come out and celebrate
Everyone, everywhere
What makes you hesitate?
Don't hesitate
The scale is open ended
And tonight the skyline looks so peaceful
From our rooftop
The scale is open ended
Global leaders, polished egos
Zeroed in by true amigos
Every problem is a challenge
Every word can be contorted
Sky is blue and parks are crowded
Noone knows what I am planning
I will plunge into the crisis
I'll give up and let it roll
Take me to the nearest store
Love don't live here anymore
Take me to the Apple store
The count von count will keep the score
Come out and celebrate
Everyone, everywhere
What makes you hesitate?
Don't hesitate!
The scale is open ended
And tonight the skyline looks so peaceful
From our rooftop
The scale is open ended
And tonight the skyline looks so peaceful
Come out
But don't come empty-handed
Come out and celebrate
Everyone, everywhere
What makes you hesitate?
Don't hesitate
The scale is open ended
And tonight the skyline looks so peaceful
From our rooftop
Come out and celebrate
Everyone, everywhere
What makes you hesitate?
Don't hesitate
The scale is open ended
And tonight the skyline looks so peaceful
From our rooftop
The scale is open ended
And tonight the skyline looks so peaceful
Come out
But don't come empty-handed
