Higher And Higher

This is some dancing party.

All of the stars and the moon have fallen.

What did you see down at the fountain?

I looked for it once, but never again.

Where were you when the lights faded?

I chased the girl with the pills in her purse.

They set a fire to the great statue

I watched it go down, and it bored me to tears.

And I watched you with my camera over thousand miles of road.

But you always left me waiting on the phone...

This is the one that I wanted forever.

She stood at the door with her ten-dollar grin.

Morning I woke up, and I blamed the weather:

She held me outside, but wouldn't come in.

So plug in the stars, they'll shine like electric.

The party is over 'cause no one can sing.

Though I was happy, then I started thinking.

Distance can't bridge even simpler things.

Up, up, higher and higher.

I'll climb the walls but I'll tumble back down.

Lord, how I wish I had wings.

(Lord, how I wish I could fly...)

If time is the rope that ties us together,

The clock on the wall has a globe of its own.

Thought I was happy, then I started drinking.

And then I would see you come sailing back home.

Back home.
