Failing Upwards
Mark Pender, Joe Sublett, Eric Corne
Playin’ both sides at the same time
Making the scene
Ain’t gonna wait in no line
You’re VIP
Inside the lights are bright
You shine like a star
But good looks and boyish charm
Only get you so far
That’s failing upwards
Talking out both sides of your mouth
You’re the green machine
Big wind gonna blow down your house
Done dirty deeds
Inside the lights are bright
You shine like a star
But good looks and boyish charm
only get you so far
Failing upwards in an empty suit
And your rhinestone studded boots
Time to pull your golden parachute
Before you’re found out in cahoots
That’s failing upwards
