Ben Folds Five - Philosophy lyrics

rate me

Won't you look up at the skyline

at the mortar block and glass

and check out the reflections

in my eyes

you see they always

used to be there

even when this all was grass

and I sang and danced

about a high-rise

you were laughing at

my helmet hat

laughing at my torch

CHORUS

Go ahead you can

laugh all you want

I got my philosophy

keeps my feet on the ground

and I trust it like the ground

and that's why my philosophy(my phil-)

it keeps me walking when I'm falling down(o-so-phy)

I see that there is evil

and I know that there is good

and the inbetweens

I never understood

won't you look at me

I'm crazy

but I get the job done

yeah I'm crazy

but I get the job done

CHORUS

I pushed you 'cause

I loved you guys

I didn't realize

you weren't having fun

I dragged you up the stairs

and I told you to fly

you were flapping your arms

you started to cry

you were too high

too high

You may take this all for granted

take the mortar, block and glass

and you forget the speech

that moved the stone

but it's really not that you can't see

the forest for the trees

you've never been out

in the woods alone

So you can laugh

all you want to

but I got my philosophy

keeps my feet on the ground

and I love you

you're my friend

but you got no philosophy

now it's time for this song to end
