And I'm calling calling calling
I'm wishing that it didn't look
Like I was gonna run straight over a cliff
Cause it's dangerous
You can hurt yourself doing that
Listen to this!
I ran and ran and ran
And I called and called and called
But you weren't in sight
So I kept running and no surprise
I tripped over the clothes in the aisle
And fell right down
And lay there awhile
Chorus:
Cause getting up is hard to do
When all you want is far from you
And all I want is in the distance
And there's no chance that I'll catch up
There's no chance
The clothes I tripped on
Since you asked, they're my own
Cause I am messy and I leave
Parts of me lying alone
And parts of me lying in view
Did you see? Tell me, did you?
I leave parts of me lying around
Cause I don't want to get up
I don't want to stand up from the ground
Chorus:
Cause getting up is hard to do
When all you want is far from you
And all I want is in the distance
And there's no chance that I'll catch up
There's no chance
But resting is so nice
I'm sleeping on a leaf in paradise
It's comfortable in a way
But ya know, with this face, I have it made
Or maybe that's just a dream
And people really see that I'm not even getting up
I'm betting that I'll never be getting up
As long as I lie here
Chorus:
Cause getting up is hard to do
When all you want is far from you
And all I want is in the distance
And there's no chance that I'll catch up
There's no chance
The only way I'd look in a mirror
Was if I was face down and it was cleaner
Than any mirror I've ever seen
Cause every one has shown me as this goodlooking thing
But I don't look that good, and I don't care
What it shows me as
Cause I just want to kick my ass
The only way I'd look in a mirror
Was if I was lying on it and my face was clearer
And it showed me just lying there
Not anything special, not anything anywhere
Cause every looking glass I've seen has lied
And said I looked better than I do
And I feel so dirty when I see myself htat way
And I'm not getting up
Cause I can't see myself from down here
And I'm too lazy to move anyway
This is the end of the song, goodbye
