Philosophy Lyrics by Ben Folds Five

Philosophy Lyrics

    Won't you look up at the skyline
    At the mortar, block, and glass
    And check out the reflections in my eyes
    You see they always used to be there
    Even when this was all was grass
    And I sang and danced about a high-rise
    And you were laughing at my helmet hat
    Laughing at my torch

    Go ahead you can laugh all you want
    But I got my philosophy, keeps my feet on the ground
    And I trust it like the ground
    And that's why my philosophy
    Keeps me walking when I'm falling down
    I see that there is evil and I know that there is good
    Yet the in-betweens I never understood
    Won't you look at me I'm crazy
    But I get the job done
    Yeah, I'm crazy but I get the job done
    And I say...
    Go ahead you can laugh all you want
    But I got my philosophy, keeps my feet on the ground
    And I trust it like the ground
    And that's why my philosophy
    Keeps me walking when I'm falling down
    I pushed you cause I loved you guys
    I did not realize you weren't having fun
    And I dragged you up the stairs
    And I told you to fly
    You were flapping your arms
    When you started to cry, you were too high, too high

    You take this all for granted
    You take the mortar, block, and glass
    And you forget the speech that moved the stone
    But it's really not that you can't see
    The forest from the trees
    You never been out in the woods alone
    So you can laugh all you want to
    I've got my philosophy, keeps my feet on the ground
    And I love you you're my friend
    But you got no philosophy
    And now it's time for the song to end
