Living in a vertical world
Progress and decline the magic marker plots and tables (life)
Towards the future the mythic past gets warped and labeled (time)
Straight up and down we graph our success like
The Dow Jones Average (need)
We flee horizontally (what?)
Indecision plods the time until we move on, oh how we move on
Life of the warrior who never sits, he’s got his mojo working
By god he’s always working
People where are you going to?
A house in the country a four car garage
A kitchen never used, a bedroom just for sleep
Living in a vertical world
How you enjoy the time your finger pulses on the trigger (bang)
Your steel eyes of blue are focused on the green of
Facts and figures (lies)
A whiff of snow and a shot of vermouth conjure the eye of the tiger
The courage to rape and abuse
You pump a little iron and chase after youth
She’s got her mojo working by god she’s always working
Working, how ‘bout you? I know I’m quite confused
Another house in the country a 500,000 dollar massage
A bedroom never used, a kitchen just for sleep
Work, work, work make the deadline
Make it or don’t make it, you are dead
Vertical world leads nowhere
