Lookin Up Lookin Down - Shawn Phillips

I keep lookin' down out of my windows at the people below

So slow

I keep lookin' down out of my windows at the people below

Lordy, go slow

Sure would like to know what you been thinkin'

But I don’t want to know when you been sinkin'

Go slow

Yeah, sure would like to know what you been thinkin'

But I don’t want to know when you been sinkin'

Go slow

You see yourself in a coffee cup

But you cannot stimulate the future up

Go slow

You see yourself in a coffee cup

But you cannot stimulate the future up

Go slow

Every time I’m doin' a number

I’m thinkin' that I see your eyes

I keep crossing over borderlines

Seein' little babies die

And even though I’m economizing

I can’t keep your high livin' style child

It takes so long to believe it Charlie

But what have you done to your smile

I keep lookin' down out of my windows at the people below

So slow

I keep lookin' down out of my windows at the people below

Lordy, so slow

If you want to choose the latter you won’t never be free

Go slow

The alternative to truth is hypocrisy

If you want to choose the latter you won’t never be free

Go slow

Ain’t no such thing as revolution

It’s got another name

It’s called evolution

Go slow

Ain’t no such thing as revolution

It’s got another name

It’s called evolution

Part of being free is a state of mind

You just got to learn to leave it all behind

Go slow

Part of being free is a state of mind

You just got to learn to leave it all behind
