I have tried marijuana I get nervous every time There will come a knockin' at the door Why is everybody makin' eyes at me? I don't want to know Excuse and pardon me Stay for a while Maybe we'll never meet again I can see my lifetime piling up I can see the days turn into nights I can see the people on the street Open those windows up A hundred floors below me Pilin' those houses up Pilin' them higher, higher, higher I can feel them swayin' back and forth Building it higher, higher This tower's learning over I got bad coordination Stuck a pencil in my eye I can hardly wait to get back home Why is everybody gettin' paranoid? I's only havin' fun Scum-bags and superstars Tell me your names I'll make a bet, you're Both the same I can see my lifetime pilin' up Reaching from my bedroom to the stars I can see the house where I was born When I was growin' up - they say that I could never keep my trousers up I remember days and crazy nights Are there any pirates on this ship? And if they sober up - they'll have us Home by morning Cry, cry, cry It's just you and I Like an automobile With no one at the wheel Spinning out of control We're all over the road In our sexy machine All the passengers scream Scream, scream! I can see my lifetime pilin' up I can see it smashin' into yours It was not an accident at all Open your window up - I hear you laughin' Goin' one, two, three, four, five Goin' from the bottom to the top Maybe I'm holding on too tight And now I'm growin' up I got a funny feeling Pilin' those houses up Pilin' them higher, higher, higher Building that highway to the stars And turning the music up - Hey! I got a winning number
