Philosophy (Live at Melkweg, Amsterdam, NL - 3/18/1997)

Won't you look up at the skyline
At the mortar block and glass
And check out the reflections in my eyes
See they always used to be there
Even when this was all was grass
And I sang and danced about a high rise
And you were laughing at my helmet hat
Laughing at my torch
Go ahead you laugh all you want
I got my philosophy
It keeps my feet on the ground
And I trust it like the ground
That's why my philosophy
Keeps me walking when
I'm falling down
I see that there is evil
And I know that there is good
And the in betweens I never understood
Would you look at me I'm crazy
But I get the job done
I'm crazy but I get the job done
So go ahead and laugh all you want
I got my philosophy
It keeps my feet on the ground
And I trust it like the ground
That's why my philosophy
Keeps me walking when I'm falling down
I pushed you 'cause I loved you guys
I didn't realize
That you weren't having fun
And I dragged you up the stairs
And I told you to fly
You were flapping your arms
Then you started to
Cry you were too high
Now you take this all for granted
You 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 from the trees
You just never been out in the woods alone
So you can laugh all you want to
But I've got my philosophy
It 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
