Ben Folds Five - Philosophy

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 and laugh all you want
I got my philosophy
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
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
started to cry too high 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
And 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
And I love you you're my friend
But you got no philosophy
Now it's time for this song to end
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 and laugh all you want
I got my philosophy
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
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
started to cry too high 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
And 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
And I love you you're my friend
But you got no philosophy
Now it's time for this song to end
