Your father is a V.I.P.
He thinks he's always right
Your mother watches her T.V.
Won't talk to you all night.
Couldn't help sitting up so high
He's got a bloody nose
He's never seen a flower or a tree
Or anything that grows.
And everyday I'll pass and say: Hey!
How is the air up there
How is the air up there
How is the air up there
According to you I just don't care
I'll hang here on the ground.
First time that you saw me
Said you'd hope I wouldn't change
Well, your friends took one look at me
And they sure acted strange.
Haven't seen you in a month
And you wonder what it's all about
Well, next time I'm on prison row
Come and bail me out.
And everyday I'll pass and say: Hey!
How is the air up there
How is the air up there
How is the air up there
According to you I just don't care
I'm happy on the ground.
You tried to put the blame on me
You've got a lot of nerve
You say you're so lonely, well
It's all that you deserve.
When you get tired of your
Lonely life in high society
Well, get some kicks and take a trip
And come on down with me.
And everyday I'll pass and say: Hey!
How is the air up there
How is the air up there
How is the air up there
According to you I just don't care
I'm hanging on the ground.
How is the air up there
How is the air up there
How is the air up there
How is the air up there.
How is the air up there
How is the air up there
How is the air up there
How is the air up there.
How is the air up there
How is the air up there
How is the air up there.
