lyrics

Hmm… eben’ doah dem nebba hear a’ us
Dem orda’ us to wull di bus—mi fuss
Areddi itchin’ fi tings a gwaan
Di walk’ yah jus tuh ramp pan di blacktop
Huh—so, I pulled up in a station wagon
I got the swagger of a katydid—bzz!
I finna’ catch stars as they drop far
I’m too Mufasa to diss Scars

O’ mia di ongle one ahuu can fee’
Lakka mi hab ah gun fi ah han’

No one I’ve met has the will to stay
(They’re stuck at the bottom)
And what would I lose if I went back down?
(What’s the consequence?)
I fought my way here from the other side,
And it goes on and on and on and on and on

Watch di kids gather roun wen wi step outside…

It takes a second, maybe two or three
To go from the man next door
To the superhero out in the streets,
Saving ungrateful victims
I pick ‘em like flowers that tickle

O’ mia di ongle one ahuu can fee’
Lakka mi hab ah gun fi ah hand
Buh pree mi run lakka mon wid ah yulluh’ bac
Pree mi vroom, vroom, vroom akrass di highway
-Via jackrabbit
Eben doah mi habba’ kun’ criss gun fi ah han’

No one I’ve met has the will to stay
(They’re stuck at the bottom)
And what would I lose if I went back down?
(What’s the consequence?)
I fought my way here from the other side,
And it goes on and on and on and on and on

Hmm… eben’ doah dem nebba hear a’ us
Dem orda’ us to wull di bus—mi fuss
Areddi itchin’ fi tings a gwaan
Di walk’ yah jus tuh ramp pan di blacktop

No one I’ve met has the will to stay
(They’re stuck at the bottom)
And what would I lose if I went back down?
(What’s the consequence?)
I fought my way here from the other side,
And it goes on and on and on an on and on and on

The Awry Ascent
by Hungry Lights

supported by 46 fans who also own “The New Elevator”

The first album I've listened to from this guy, on his youtube channel. At first I wasn't sure about how I liked it, but Umber Tower sold it to me, and I eventually came to love all of his music. I FINALLY got around to buying all of the albums! Yay! My other favorite has to go to Umber Tower Donald Wilson
