Upperbirth
Now did you think you really had a choice?
Did you think you had a lot to say?
Did you figure they'd hear your voice?
Did He tell you give it all away?
You were looking but you could not see.
You were listening but you could not hear.
Did you try to get away from me,
to get away from you, to get away from here?
Well you were living in the human race.
Going to take the winners prize.
But you struggled as you tried in vain
to ride your camel through the needles eye!
You were looking but you could not see.
You were listening but you could not hear.
Did you try to get away from me,
to get away from you, to get away from here?
Don't you wonder why your life feels empty?
Do you methods magnify the law?
Do you witches seem to over take you?
Does it ever even trouble you at all!
You were looking but you could not see.
You were listening but you could not hear.
Did you try to get away from me,
to get away from you, to get away from here?
So have you fallen from your upper birth?
At last!
I'm on the edge of my seat.
I'm in the dark looking out.
I've started feeling the beat.
There's no stopping me now! Now! Now! NOW!
So I see you've push beyond the limit.
There will be no escaping through the back door.
Someday you're going to have to face it.
Does it ever make you wonder just what for?
You were looking but you could not see.
You were listening but you could not hear.
Did you try to get away from me,
to get away from you, to get away from here?
So have you fallen from your upper birth?
At last!
I'm on the edge of my seat.
I'm in the dark but I'm looking out.
I've started feeling the beat.
There's no stopping me NOW!
Did you think you had a lot to say?

to get away from you, to get away from here?

I've started feeling the beat.
There's no stopping me NOW!
