Straight Up Lyrics - Mondo Bongo - Boomtown Rats

Hey, she'll set the world alight 

She's looking lost with life 

But no-one's on fire 

And still she burns 

She waits her turn 

Straight up. 

Sometimes at least it seems 

She hears the whole place scream 

But she finds sleep 

With light hand relief 

She's going deep 

Straight up 

She holds no convictions 

Which means she never doubts 

Day falls into night 

She draws the blind 

Calls it a day 

And when she wakes 

Sees nothing's changed 

Straight up. 

She just stands there waiting 

Waiting for something 

Anything at all 

Nothing at all 

Not at all.
