Cloud 8

You were doing nothing
I thought I'd try it
You said if you stand still for long enough
It all goes quiet

But it all got louder
And you soon get tired
Just standing up
Because if you stand still for long enough you just get stuck

And you could find a way to walk
And you could think you're walking nowhere
But if you look you're heading straight for cloud eight

And if you never have the time
And never get to see cloud nine
There's a place where you can wait on cloud eight

You were saying nothing
Didn't say a word
You said if you shut up for long enough
The more you heard

But you hear nothing
Didn't hear a word
And you soon get bored
Because if you shut up for long enough you just get ignored

And you could find a way to walk
And you could think you're walking nowhere
But if you look you're heading straight for cloud eight

And if you never have the time
And never get to see cloud nine
There's a place where you can wait on cloud eight

You do a lot of nothing much
And I wish you luck
Because if you stand still for long enough
You just get stuck
