Above the Ground - Burton Cummings

Been changin' my flight for a week now

Not a chance of gettin' off the ground

And I mighta lost some o' my marbles

So I’m checkin' with the lost and found

I’m only tryna stay ahead of danger

And the tickin' of the thin red hand

But in a half a second I got older

It’s gettin' harder now to understand

Wo woh time keep runnin'

Gettin' my stopwatch wound

Wo woh moon or sunnin'

Day and night’ll both be… day and night’ll both be…

Keepin' me above the ground

Been wakin' up with my nose in the eggs now

And I suppose that I could use a shower

But I’ll never turn the other cheek now

I guess the «tude» is gettin' dark and sour

I gotta man-up to what I been thinkin'

Not a crime to wanna kick it alone

But I have come to know what is a real crime

To mortify what you don’t own

Wo woh, time keep runnin'

Gettin' my stopwatch wound…

Wo woh, moon or sunnin'

Day and night’ll both be… day and night’ll both be…

Keepin' me above the ground

Shoot for the ground and you know what you’ll find…

You’ll get the ground every time…

Shoot for the moon while your thoughts stay sublime…

You’ll get something in between

Wo woh, time keep runnin'

Gettin' my stopwatch wound…

Wo woh, moon or sunnin'

Day and night’ll both be… day and night’ll both be…

Keepin' me above the ground
