Trip Over Your Feet

from Dress UP by TOM SWIFT

/

lyrics

Chorus:
You gotta get on top, yeah
Oh you're living large
Wanna reach the sun.
But then you trip over your feet.

You've got me hooked up on your favorite drug:
craving for more and more.
While you stash away your pots of gold,
The groove is what I'll go for.
Hidden away in your towers of power
You rule with out a care.
We all play your game but then you change the rules
in favor of your welfare.

Chorus
You gotta get on top, yeah
Oh you're living large
Wanna reach the sun.
But then you trip over your feet.

You're just this guy in a suit with no face,
Locked up behind office walls.
You just do your job, and just follow orders
Go on and blow it all.

Chorus:
You gotta get on top, yeah
Oh you're living large
Wanna reach the sun.
But then you trip over your feet.
Before it gets too hot, now.
and your wings fall of.
Oh you're getting close
But then you trip over your feet.

Hidden away in your towers of power you rule without a care.
But I can feel it cracking
the walls are thick but it's happening.
It's worth it, the trouble
we don't wanna see them messing up another bubble.
So we're out there singing our song
once more pleading right over wrong.
Stop the muddling, pass the handcuffs
This time we had enough.

Chorus
