Falling Up Lyrics - John Hiatt

I'm gonna lower my standards and raise my price 

I'm gonna take your lunch and your bad advice 

Until my worse idea gets the big reward 

Until I get out of this raggedy Ford 

And into a shiny new two seater 

Dress my girlfriend up like a cheetah 

I'm gonna sign my checks: Yours sincerely 

For all the money that you hold dearly 

When my ego swells and my output dwindles 

You can tell the world that youve been swindled 

By the man who would have been so bitter 

Had he never reconsidered

Falling up 

To the top of the junk pile wearing a big smile 

Falling up 

To the top of the heap with my tongue in cheek 

I cant sit down cause I'm falling up 

Well I used to think that I had some duty 

Now I only want the booty 

And unless youve recently been anointed 

Then dont tell me youre disappointed 

In the man who would have been so bitter 

Had he never reconsidered 

Photos 

Now I pay no mind to innovation 

Just over and over with the same sensation 

Till I'm a short short subject on a long tape loop 

That comes and goes like the hula hoop 

In one ear and out the other 

Nothing there to stop it, brother 

Falling up
