Higher and Higher - Rheostatics

This is some dancing party

All of the stars and the moon have fallen

What did you see down at the fountain?

I looked for it once, but never again

Where were you when the lights faded?

I chased the girl with the pills in her purse

They set a fire to the great statue

I watched it go down, and it bored me to tears

And I watched you with my camera over thousand miles of road

But you always left me waiting on the phone…

This is the one that I wanted forever

She stood at the door with her ten-dollar grin

Morning I woke up, and I blamed the weather:

She held me outside, but wouldn’t come in

So plug in the stars, they’ll shine like electric

The party is over 'cause no one can sing

Though I was happy, then I started thinking

Distance can’t bridge even simpler things

Up, up, higher and higher

I’ll climb the walls but I’ll tumble back down

Lord, how I wish I had wings

(Lord, how I wish I could fly…)

If time is the rope that ties us together

The clock on the wall has a globe of its own

Thought I was happy, then I started drinking

And then I would see you come sailing back home

Back home
