Way Out and Up We Go Lyrics

When I asked for money
You would give me alcohol
Wasn't being funny
When I said no ifs at all

I'm thinking
Thoughts too late
No linking
I won't wait

When I wanted coffee
You insist on alcohol
When I said no maybes
You would give me ifs, that's all

A message wrapped in paper
Each passage wrapped in paper
Wrapped in paper made for us...

Some meaning sent to someone
Each read it, passed it on
Passed it on to one of us...

Crumpled on the mattress
Best you cover up
Hardly in the bad day
When you don't get up

He made it
Wrapped in sackcloth
Afraid of it
Had to back off
Backed off into one of us...

Ten seconds
You can't see it
Old record
Laugh my way out

Way out and up we go
Out of the way and up we go
