She says I deserve much better than this
|
It's getting pretty plain to see
|
She tells her boss,"here's my butt,
|
Why don't you give it a kiss-
|
You got all you're gonna get outta me"
|
Twenty years ago with time in a glass
|
Graduation day to pave the way
|
Nothing to show but a life moving too fast
|
And a fear of almost everything
|
And a fear of almost everything
|
|
But they say get down under these clouds
|
I was born down under these clouds
|
So I stand up and sing it out loud
|
Someone's still alive under their shroud
|
And I don't wanna die
|
Under these clouds
|
|
Her momma tried real hard not to pass it along
|
And so her Momma did before that
|
Somewhere, some day,
|
Someone's singin' their song
|
How everything good goes bad
|
And it really was a gradual thing
|
Passed as easy as a cigarette
|
You wake up one day wrapped in a ball of string
|
Feelin' nothing good's happened to you yet
|
Feels like nothing good's happened to you yet
|
|
But they say get down under these clouds
|
I was born down under these clouds
|
So I stand up and sing it out loud
|
Someone's still alive under their shroud
|
And I don't wanna die
|
Under these clouds
|
