Uptown
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.
We got up late, because we couldn't sleep
We go uptown, on the underground
Yeah, we fall from the sky just to learn how to cry
We dance and we sing just to wash it all clean
And the games that we play are the things that we say
And the reason that we are is cause we do it all day
Uptown
We stole a car, just to see how far
We smoked a fag, because life's a drag
Yeah, we fall from the sky just to learn how to cry
We dance and we dream just to wash it all clean
And the games that we play are the things that we say
And the reason that we do is cause we do it all day
Uptown
We say a prayer, because we're well aware
That it's up and down, it's round and round
Yeah, we can fall from the sky just to learn how to cry
We dance and we dream just to wash it all clean
And the games that we play are the things that we say
And the reason that we do is we do it all day
Uptown
