about

who's your upside in life?

lyrics

they say the world is getting warmer
well, at least that's what I'm told
I've got to say it's hard to notice
when everybody acts so cold
no one seems to care
and no one's even truly there
and no one knows the way to go
so if you see me standing here
please don't even stop and share
'cause I don't even want to know

if everything's gon' crash and burn
can I be the last to learn?
so I don't have to turn and run away from
all the things I'd leave behind
can I have some peace of mind
that when it all comes crashing down I'll be with you?...

the economy has fallen
don't nobody got no dough
the unemployment line is longer
than it's ever been before
everybody's lining up
when all the money's drying up
'cause we don't know what else to do
the banks are failing now
they even need some bailing out
but baby, all I need is you

and I don't care if the world flies right by us
'cause either way, it's gon' fall down beside us
we run away to where the whole world can't find us
you soothe me like blue sheets clutched by Linus
this world is tough; I need a touch like midas
but everything I clutch turns plus into minus
worthless when everything once was priceless
the only thing coming up now is gas prices
and add that to the cost of my bills
dough low, flow go like the oil when it spills
those over the hill all know it was real
when a whole dollar bill was the dough for a meal
I pined for the limelight, gloss of a deal
the house on the hill that would cost me a mil
but all I know now is how awful it'd feel
if I gained the whole world, but I lost you, for real
I need you
