Everybody Lookin' Down

I don't like livin' in a lonely world with everybody lookin' down

Everybody lookin' down to see what's up

I get all caved in and it bums me out, seein' everybody lookin' down

Every time I look around and away from my own stuff

I used to see the world right in front of my face

All three dimensions, all over the place

Noticin' the leaves blowin' in the breeze

And all the little flowers just ticklin' my knees

I miss all the details I used to see

A butterfly floatin' by a fish in a tree

I miss all the cute puppies and the ugly ones too

And when I didn't need my thumbs just to talk to you

I don't like livin' in a lonely world with everybody lookin' down

Everybody lookin' down to see what's up

I get all caved in and it bums me out, seein' everybody lookin' down

Every time I look around and away from my own stuff

'Cause when out is in, and down is up

And everybody's drinkin' from a different cup

Oh, how we gonna ever get everyone together

When two people can't agree on the time or the weather?

Well it's just like ol' Mr. Maron said

There used to be space all around your head

Standin' in a line, burnin' up your time

All that you could do was just think And whine

I miss that tension that grew in that space

Makin' me reckon with my time and place

Lookin' people in the eye couldn't afford to be shy

I guess it ain't a Christie-level mystery why

I don't like livin' in a lonely world with everybody lookin' down

Everybody lookin' down to see what's up

I get all caved in and it bums me out, seein' everybody lookin' down

Every time I look around and away from my own stuff

I don't like livin' in a lonely world with everybody lookin' down

Everybody lookin' down to see what's up

I get all caved in and it bums me out, seein' everybody lookin' down

Every time I look around and away from my own stuff
