Soul Asylum

Straight Up

Soul Asylum


You know the galaxy's full of black holes 
We don't know which one 
Oh take a look I take a look inside 

This is a whle new kind of illusion 
Based on a brand new kind of confusion 
Built on wise decisions based on foolish pride 
And you wonder why you wasted all this time 
Oh Trying to find gold in a salt mine 
And now you've reached the limit 
But the limit is the sky 
Oh straight up one more straight up one more time 

This is a character assasination 
This is a character that needs a vacation 
All too soon too long too much for one mind 
You gotta step back and take inventory 
You're only seeing one side of the story 
And a good story is changing all the time 
There is always one more sucker doing fine 
One more trucker driving that white line 
Delivering nothing to no one everywhere 
Oh straight up one more straight up one more time 

It's much too easy to give up 
Much too hard to get up 
To another day just like yesterday 
And this time there is no escape this time 
And any explanation would be fine 

And now you've reached the limit 
But the limit is the sky 
Oh straight up one more straight up one more time
