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
