Get Up!

There’s a murmur inside that I dispel

On the sunny side of suffering, a miniature hell

Now you’re gonna die, so am I

Yet all we seem to do is just apologise so

Carry on with the caterwaul

Acting like we think we know it all

We ain’t no marionettes

Don’t you remember how we met?

I want it big and blue

I want it short and sweet

Make me believe (make me believe)

Can we be free?

Who do you think you are?

You’re neither here nor afar

Taking our chances

I want to swim in the clouds, dive straight into the ground

Get up and climb then dive and try to fly again

Swing low, let my people go

Introduce a little vertigo

A little less reality on those screens

Take a step out your door and flood the streets

There’s so much left for me here

Than a squalid life of fear

There’s so much left for me here than fear

I want it big and blue

I want it short and sweet

Make me believe (make me believe)

Can we be free?

Who do you think you are?

You’re neither here nor afar

Taking our chances

I want to swim in the clouds, dive straight into the ground

Get up and climb then dive and try to fly again

Get up, get up, get up, get up

Go again

Can the content of my character define my standing in this place?

Not the labyrinth of deep twitching lines that I call an ageing face

Now we learn to lie just to get by, just to close our eyes and to sleep at night

I’m coming up right now

Just to plummet into the ground

I want it big and blue

I want it short and sweet

Make me believe (make me believe)

Can we be free?

Who do you think you are?

You’re neither here nor afar

Taking our chances

I want to swim in the clouds, dive straight into the ground

Get up and climb then dive and try to fly again

Get up, get up, get up, get up

Go again

Who do you think you are?

You’re neither here nor afar

Taking our chances

I want to swim in the clouds, dive straight into the ground

Get up and climb then dive and try to fly again

Get up, get up, get up

Get up and climb then dive and try to fly again
