down here it's a major motion picture on a star stricken summer night
down here it's autographs and pedicures and tans from a man made light
up there nothing makes a bit of sense until you can close your eyes
up there everyone is beautiful no matter what shape or size

down here everything is black and white on various shades of green
down here it's medicated oxy pads for millions of strung out teens
up there an education doesn't automatically make you wise
up there everyone is beautiful no matter what shape or size

down here it's accidents and traffic lights and businesses in the sky
down here it's a pornographic puppet show for millions of curious minds

does the television weigh you down?
you can't help but be sucked in by the sight and sound
maybe things will change as I move around
still it's the same old scene in a different town
