"Lifetime Piling Up" lyrics
"Lifetime Piling Up"
I have tried marijuana, I get nervous every time
There will come a knockin' at the door
Why is everybody makin' eyes at me?
I don't want to know
Excuse and pardon me, stay for a while
Maybe we'll never meet again
And I can see my lifetime pilin' up
I can see the days turn into nights
I can see the people on the street
Open those windows up
A hundred floors below me
Pilin' those houses up
Pilin' them higher, higher, higher
I can feel them swayin' back and forth
Building it higher, higher
This tower's leaning over
I got bad coordination, stuck a pencil in my eye
I can hardly wait to get back home
Why is everybody gettin' paranoid?
I's only havin' fun
Scumbags and superstars, tell me your names
I'll make a bet you're both the same
I can see my lifetime pilin' up
Reaching from my bedroom to the stars
I can see the house where I was born
When I was growin' up
They say that I could never keep my trousers up
I remember days and crazy nights
Are there any pirates on this ship?
And if they sober up
They'll have us home by morning
Cry, cry, cry (Cry, cry, cry)
It's just you and I (It's just you and I)
Like an automobile (Like an automobile)
With no one at the wheel (With no one at the wheel)
We're spinning out of control (We're spinning out of control)
We're all over the road (We're all over the road)
In our sexy machine (In our sexy machine)
Oh, the passengers scream, scream, scream
I can see my lifetime pilin' up
I can see it smashin' into yours
It was not an accident at all
Open your window up
I hear you laughin'
Going one, two, three, four, five
Goin' from the bottom to the top
Maybe I'm holding on too tight
And now I'm throwin' up
I got a funny feeling
Pilin' those houses up
Pilin' them higher, higher, higher
Building that highway to the stars
Turning the music up
Hey, I got a winning number
