Lyrics
0:28Won't you look up at the skyline
0:31At the mortar
0:32Block
0:32And glass
0:33And check out the reflections in my eyes
0:39See they always used to be there
0:41Even when this was all was grass
0:44And I sang and danced about a high rise
0:49And you were laughing at my helmet hat
0:55Laughing at my torch
1:03Go ahead you laugh all you want
1:06I got my philosophy
1:10It keeps feet on the ground
1:12And I trust it like the ground
1:17That's why my philosophy
1:18I feel
1:20Keeps me walking when I'm falling down
1:23I see that there is evil
1:27See that there is evil
1:29And I know that there is good
1:31And the in betweens I never understood
1:35Would you look at me I'm crazy
1:38But I get the job done
1:40I'm crazy but I get the job done
1:45So go ahead and laugh all you want
1:49I got my philosophy
1:53It keeps my feet on the ground
1:55And I trust it like the ground
2:00That's why my philosophy
2:02All I feel
2:03Keeps me walking when I'm falling down
2:10I pushed you 'cause I loved you guys
2:12I didn't realize
2:14You weren't having fun
2:19And I dragged you up the stairs
2:20And I told you to fly
2:21You were flapping your arms
2:23Then you started to cry you were too high
2:26Now to you high
2:39Now you take this all for granted
2:41You take the mortar
2:42Block
2:42And glass
2:43And you forget the speech that moved the stone
2:49But it's really not that you can't see
2:51The forest from the trees
2:53You never been out in the woods alone
2:59So you can laugh all you want to
3:05But I've got my philosophy
3:09Feet on the ground
3:10And I love you you're my friend
3:15But you got no philosophy
3:17Now I fell
3:18Now it's time for this song to end
3:21So feel
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 feet on the ground And I trust it like the ground That's why my philosophy I feel Keeps me walking when I'm falling down I see that there is evil 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 All I feel Keeps me walking when I'm falling down I pushed you 'cause I loved you guys I didn't realize 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 to you 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 never been out in the woods alone So you can laugh all you want to But I've got my philosophy Feet on the ground And I love you you're my friend But you got no philosophy Now I fell Now it's time for this song to end So feel
