Looking Up

Lyrics

Billy and Lee went down to the shore
Two inch [???] to four
Smile walk away the day the school bell rings
Sink down to the ocean floor
Whatever happen in this year science fair
When did you think you you were going nowhere [going up]
You’ve got it when there is nothing to lose
Billy and Lee don’t seem to care

I’ll spend my time down here at the bottom
Looking up
I’m doing fine down here at the bottom
Looking up

Nowhere to go when nothing to fear [going up]
All that we know is that these are the best of our years
Hold on to that thought we heard it all before
Billy and Lee don’t seem to care

I’ll spend my time down here at the bottom [sha la la]
Looking up
Doing fine down here at the bottom [sha la la]
Looking up

We don’t know when we went long
We thought we taught them well [well well]
Maybe they’ll grow out of it and be like everyone else
Maybe just like us

I’ll spend my time down here at the bottom [sha la la]
Looking up
I’m doing fine down here at the bottom [sha la la]
Looking up I’ll spend my time down here at the bottom [sha la la]
Looking up
I’m doing fine down here [sha la la]
Looking up
