Higher and Higher

Dave Bidini This is some dancing party. All of the stars and the moon have fallen. What did you see down at the fountain? I looked for it once, but never again. Where were you when the lights faded? I chased the girl with the pills in her purse. They set a fire to the great statue I watched it go down, and it bored me to tears. And I watched you with my camera over thousand miles of road. But you always left me waiting on the phone... This is the one that I wanted forever. She stood at the door with her ten-dollar grin. Morning I woke up, and I blamed the weather: She held me outside, but wouldn't come in. So plug in the stars, they'll shine like electric. The party is over 'cause no one can sing. Though I was happy, then I started thinking. Distance can't bridge even simpler things. Up, up, higher and higher. I'll climb the walls but I'll tumble back down. Lord, how I wish I had wings. (Lord, how I wish I could fly...) If time is the rope that ties us together, The clock on the wall has a globe of its own. Thought I was happy, then I started drinking. And then I would see you come sailing back home. Back home.
