On the ground - English song

My life's been magic, seems fantastic I used to have a hole in the wall with a mattress It's funny when you want it, suddenly you have it You find out that your gold's just plastic Every day, every night I've been thinking back on you and I Every day, every night I worked my whole life Just to get right, just to be like Look at me, I'm never coming down I worked my whole life Just to get high, just to realize Everything I need is on the Everything I need is on the ground On the ground Everything I need is on the ground (Nah but they don't hear me though) What goes up must come down (Nah but they don't hear me though) You're running out of time My world's been hectic, seems electric But I've been waking up with your voice in my head And I'm trying to send a message and let you know That every single minute I'm without you, I regret it Every day, every night I've been thinking back on you and I Every day, every night I worked my whole life Just to get right, just to be like Look at me, I'm never coming down I worked my whole life Just to get high, just to realize Everything I need is on the Everything I need is on the ground On the ground Everything I need is on the ground (Nah but they don't hear me though) What goes up must come down (Nah but they don't hear me though) You're running out of time I'm way up in the clouds And they say I've made it now But I figured it out Everything I need is on the ground (yeah, yeah) Just drove by your house (just drove by your house) So far from you now (so far from you now) But I figured it out Everything I need is on the Everything I need is on the ground On the ground Everything I need is on the ground (Nah but they don't hear me though) On the ground (Nah but they don't hear me though) Everything I need is on the ground

It started when they took and hitched the boiler to a wheel And made the mechanism run along on rails of steel But there were lots of people who would never ride the train They said it was the devil's work and chanted this refrain I'm gonna walk on the ground like the good Lord intended Like he meant for me and meant for you I'm gonna walk on the ground like the good Lord intended Like the good Lord intended us to do It wasn't long before they figured out a way to fly And there were airplains zooming every which way in the sky Folks said "If man was meant to fly, he'd have a pair of wings You'll never get me up in one of them confounded things" I'm gonna ride on the train like the good Lord intended Like he meant for me and meant for you I'm gonna ride on the train like the good Lord intended Like the good Lord intended us to do But trains and planes were just a start and pretty dogged on soon They had a rocket ship just pointing straight up at the moon Folks laughed and called it crazy and they hollard at the crew "You'll never get it off the ground and even if you do" I'm gonna fly on a plain like the good Lord intended Like he meant for me and meant for you I'm gonna fly on a plain like the good Lord intended Like the good Lord intended us to do They're gone now all those things at which the people used to scoff And so are all the people since that cobalt bomb went off There's just a handful of us left to start the world anew And we've agreed on one thing that we all are gonna do We're gonna walk on the ground like the good Lord intended Like he meant for me and meant for you We're gonna walk on the ground like the good Lord intended Like the good Lord intended us to do
