"99.5" lyrics

What if the truth is required
But your tongue is dry and you can't get it out now
What if you're floating away
But you get too high and you can't come back down
Up, up and away
Looking back at the rest of the flock
Still down down bad
What if you ought to go home
But you bump again and you bump again

And ooh
Most of us just won't make it
Most of us just gotta fake it
But 90 is close
And 99 is almost true
But 99 and a half, it just won't do
It just won't do
It just won't do, ooh, ooh, ooh
It just won't do

What if your man steps out
And you're stuck with the junk and they're working on the clamp down
Oh I thought I told you before
You never take it so far that you can't take it back now
But if you want a fix I'm a broken man
It's bad enough we exist on this stolen land
I said you just can't ignore the past
She said "what the hell are you talking about baby, of course you can"

Ooh
And most of us just won't make it
Most of us just gotta take it
Someone right the wrongs or
Someone sing a song to kill my blues
99 and a half, it just won't do
It just won't do
It just won't do, ooh, ooh, ooh
It just won't do
