It's high now So low it's high Like this, check it out yo Took a trip on a bus that I didn't know Met a girl sellin' drinks at the disco Said "truth comes back when you let it go" Seems complicated 'cause it's really so simple Walkin' down Yonge Street on a Friday Can't follow them, gotta do it my way No fast lane, still on a highway Movin' in and out, no doubt there's a brighter day No time to get down 'cause I'm moving up No time to get down 'cause I'm moving up No time to get down 'cause I'm moving up Ah, ha, check out the crabs in the bucket No time to get down 'cause I'm moving up No time to get down 'cause I'm moving up No time to get down 'cause I'm moving up Ah, ha, check out the crabs in the bucket It's like this, it's like this It's like fly in a room, scream, writing on walls Swear this clone been havin' a ball Claimin' themselves just before last call Tic-a-tic-a-toc tic-a-tic-a-toc Clock strikes twelve, clock strikes one Smoking gun put these fools on the run I know it's not that simple, I know it's not that hard Where's your goal No time to get down 'cause I'm moving up No time to get down 'cause I'm moving up No time to get down 'cause I'm moving up Ah, ha, check out the crabs in the bucket No time to get down 'cause I'm moving up No time to get down 'cause I'm moving up No time to get down 'cause I'm moving up Ah, ha, check out the crabs in the bucket Yeah know I mean Yeah, I heard you man, yo, check, yo, yo It's a conniption fit when the microphones lit I take it higher like a bird on a wire, retire the fire I'll never 'cause I'm just moving on up Choosin' to touch, the unseen, craving the clutch The most inevitable, legible pyromania Slaying the devil, and send him back to Transylvania Strangely enough, I avoid that side of the ghetto From my heavy metal, will settle the puppets like Geppetto Damm, if mirrors where created by sand Then I'm looking in the water for reflections of man Understand the minds above time when it's empty MC, Tragically Hip, ahead by a century (rah) No time to get down 'cause I'm moving up No time to get down 'cause I'm moving up No time to get down 'cause I'm moving up Ah, ha, check out the crabs in the bucket No time to get down 'cause I'm moving up No time to get down 'cause I'm moving up No time to get down 'cause I'm moving up Ah, ha, check out the crabs in the bucket
