From the recording The Late Great Soul Shake
Lyrics
I feel empty, but ready to fill
Hopeless, but ready to hope
I feel faithless, but wanna believe
Dirty but ready to soap
Dirty but ready to soap
I feel sick, but ready to heal
Certain but ready to doubt
I feel funny, but ready to cry
Silent but ready to shout
Silent but ready to shout
It’s a long way up
To get back to the ground
Long way up
How did we get so far down?
I feel crooked, but startin to straight
Thirsty and ready to drink
Don’t feel nothing I didn’t before
Stupid but startin to think
Stupid but startin to think
It’s a long way up
To get back to the ground
Long way up
How did we get so far down?
I feel savage but ready to tame
Civil but ready to kill
I feel used and abused and confused
Thoughtful, but ready to thrill
Thoughtful , but ready to thrill
It’s a long way up
To get back to the ground
Long way up
How did we get so far down?
