Way Out and Up We Go - Echo & The Bunnymen

When I asked for money

You would give me alcohol

Wasn't being funny

When I said no ifs at all

I'm thinking

Thoughts too late

No linking

I won't wait

When I wanted coffee

You insist on alcohol

When I said no maybes

You would give me ifs, that's all

A message wrapped in paper

Each passage wrapped in paper

Wrapped in paper made for us...

Some meaning sent to someone

Each read it, passed it on

Passed it on to one of us...

Crumpled on the mattress

Best you cover up

Hardly in the bad day

When you don't get up

He made it

Wrapped in sackcloth

Afraid of it

Had to back off

Backed off into one of us...

Ten seconds

You can't see it

Old record

Laugh my way out

Way out and up we go

Out of the way and up we go
