I can almost tell I could be happy
I could be riding that banana boat out of town
Trying some new shtick on these hucksters
Like that’s devotion
And we’re all caught up in the locomotion
Too many times I set my heart to stun
And it’s the reason that you’re calling me now
I’d thought that you’d change the whole world
Like you’re the one who’s chosen
Now we’re lined up doing the locomotion
Cross the T’s and dot the I’s, baby
I’ve never known this kind of love
I know, I know - I know we’re gonna rock it
And talk their foolish talk tonight
But they were wrong from the start
And we got a home on high
Got a home on high
Take that kind of lover and be fine
It was harder than some wild winds that blow
Didn’t rustle those dead leaves at all
You spend years faking while you’re losing
You sat up front in the big truck but you never even got the thing moving
All these costs that the state piles on
The chutes you pulled and never shut
There’s not much as easy as heartbreak
It’s like sinking in the ocean
But you clap, slide back in the locomotion
Cross the T’s and dot the I’s, make me crazy
But nothing’s ever good enough
I know, I know - I know we’re gonna rock it
And talk their foolish talk tonight
But if we were wrong from the start, baby
Then they got a home on high
They got a home on high
They’ll take another lover or be fine
I know, I know, I know
I’ve got a home on high
They got a home on high
Take that kind of lover or be fine
