Upperbirth

(album: The Call - 1982)

Now did you think you really had a choice?
Did you think you had a lot to say?
Did you figure they'd hear your voice?
Did he tell you give it all away?

You were looking but you could not see
You were listening but you could not hear
Did you try to get away from me
To get away from you, to get away from here?

Well, you were living in the human race
Going to take the winners' prize
But you struggled as you tried in vain
To ride your camel through the needles eye!
(Eye eye)

You were looking but you could not see
You were listening but you could not hear
Did you try to get away from me
To get away from you, to get away from here?

So have you fallen from your upper birth?
Oh, why, why, why?

It makes you wonder, don't it?

Don't you wonder why your life feels empty?
Do you methods magnify the law?
Do your witches seem to over take you?
Does it ever even trouble you at all!

You were looking but you could not see
You were listening but you could not hear
Did you try to get away from me
To get away from you, to get away from here?

So have you fallen from your upper birth?
At last!

I'm on the edge of my seat
I'm in the dark looking out
I've started feeling the beat
There's no stopping me now! Now! Now! NOW!

So I see you've push beyond the limit
There will be no escaping through the back door
Someday you're going to have to face it
Does it ever make you wonder just what for?

You were looking but you could not see
You were listening but you could not hear
Did you try to get away from me
To get away from you, to get away from here?

So have you fallen from your upper birth?
At last!

I'm on the edge of my seat
I'm in the dark but I'm looking out
I've started feeling the beat
There's no stopping me NOW!
