Verse 1
Took a trip on a bus that 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 the highway
Movin' in and out, no doubt there's a brighter way
Chorus
(do this 2x)
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
Aaaahhhhh, check out the crabs in the bucket
Verse 2
It's like flies on the windscreen, writing on walls
Square biz clones claim they're havin a ball
Foolin' themselves just before last call
Tic--tic--toc, tic--tic--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 to go
(repeat Chorus)
Verse 3
It's a conniption, fit from the microphone flit
I take it higher like a bird on a wire, retire the fire
I never cause I'm just moving on up
Choosin' to touch the unseen, craving the clutch
The most inevitable legible pyromania
Slayin the devil, and sendin him back to Transylvania
Strangely enough, I evolved that side of the ghetto
But my heavy metal will settle the puppets like Gepetto
Damn if mirrors were created by sand
Then I'm looking in the water for reflections of man
Understand the minds above time when it's empty
Emcee, Tragically Hip Ahead by a Century
(repeat Chorus)
