Lookin’ Up Lookin’ Down

Shawn Phillips

I keep looking down out of my windows
At the people below, so slow
I keep looking down out of my windows
At the people below, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, so slow

Sure would like to know what you've been thinking
But I don't wanna know when you've been sinking, go slow
Yeah sure would like to know what you've been thinking
But I don't wanna know when you've been sinking, go slow

You see yourself in a coffee cup
But you cannot stimulate the future up, go slow
You see yourself in a coffee cup
But you cannot stimulate the future up, go slow, oh

Every time I'm doing a number
I'm thinking that I see your eyes
I keep crossing over borderlines
Seeing little babies die
And even though I'm economizing
Can't keep your high living style, child
It takes so long to believe it, Charlie
But what have you done to your smile?

I keep looking down out of my windows
At the people below, so slow
Oh I keep looking down out of my windows
At the people below, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, so slow

The alternative to truth is hypocrisy
If you wanna choose the latter, you will never be free, go slow
The alternative to truth is hypocrisy
If you wanna choose the latter, you will never be free, go slow

Ain't no such thing as revolution
It's got another name, it's called evolution, go slow
Ain't no such thing as revolution
It's got another name, it's called evolution, go slow

Part of being free is a state of mind
You just got to learn to leave it all behind, go slow, yeah
Part of being free is a state of mind
You just got to learn to leave it all behind, go slow
