Number Go Up - The Stupendium.mp3

[00:00.000] 作词 : Gregory Holgate
[00:04.713]Life is a drag. Life is a chore.
[00:07.092]Frightfully sad – so mindless a bore
[00:09.662]Mice in a bag – you fight and you gnaw
[00:12.211]For the right just to brag in the line for the door
[00:14.825]And the higher your score the louder you bicker
[00:17.490]Life gave you lemons? Good heavens, you’re bitter.
[00:20.016]And whatever you get to collect – well that head interjects
[00:23.069]With incessant effect– ‘could be bigger!’
[00:25.526]Here comes the next utter wreck - what the heck? Cut the deck.
[00:28.457]Unsuspectingly betting their dinner
[00:30.586]When left unchecked, cuts a check, bust, the rest rubberneck
[00:33.590]But expect still to end up a winner
[00:35.372]
[00:36.535]If you’re ever in the dumps or feeling stuck in a rut
[00:38.809]You simply haven’t had the fun of watching number go up
[00:41.401]You know it’s wonderful stuff – let the hundreds runneth over your cup
[00:44.579]It’s such a buzz to watch the number go up
[00:46.882]You must be pretty dumb for thinking some is enough
[00:49.293]When you can add another one and make the number go up
[00:51.912]Until you run out of luck – And find your funds are down to nothing but fluff
[00:55.038]No runners up in making number go up
[00:56.636]
[00:59.608]That day-to-day is unbearably dry
[01:01.971]Makes sense to chase that numerical high
[01:04.479]Be it a salary, calories, boxes on ballot sheets
[01:07.787]Whoops, don’t forget to subscribe!
[01:09.695]Are you feeling alive? With catharsis or pride?
[01:12.123]Maybe father has cried? Have you asked yourself why?
[01:14.722]To blast through a ceiling might pass for appealing
[01:17.505]But chance is you’re leaving with plaster in eyes
[01:20.083]And the faster the rise – the harder the fall
[01:22.594]Infinite Jesters still get curtain calls
[01:25.255]My god, it’s Historic, Meteoric, Alas my poor Yorick
[01:28.641]He held his head high through it all
[01:30.333]
[01:30.926]If you’re ever in the dumps or feeling stuck in a rut
[01:33.599]You simply haven’t had the fun of watching number go up
[01:36.230]If your budget is bust – you gotta trust the funds are gonna erupt
[01:39.389]You’ve got to lust for making numbers go up
[01:41.594]You must be pretty dumb for thinking some is enough
[01:44.017]When you can add another one and make the number go up
[01:46.631]But all the lustre can rust – Sweep your dreams into a dustpan and brush
[01:49.776]Another shmuck to make the numbers go up
[01:51.741]
[01:54.262]Shoot like a star or fold like a quitter
[01:56.655]Somebody once told me about all that glitters
[01:59.411]Now you might dream of queens, straight flush with the green
[02:02.339]But get jack when you’re sold down the river
[02:04.779]You might find you’re an ace or just bluff from the start
[02:07.645]Have diamonds in spades or get clubbed in the heart
[02:10.095]When the pot’s at an end and the flop doesn’t send
[02:12.804]You a handful of lovely cards
[02:15.018]The world’s at the table, it’s prudent to play
[02:17.395]To err, says the fable, is human, but hey
[02:20.053]Watch your stack, for the fact is that affluence turning to crap
[02:23.147]Is one little vowel movement away
[02:25.266]
[02:37.030]Those rags to riches you got from that tip-off
[02:39.772]Just tacking stitches to viciously rip off
[02:42.426]Bet on a dream and it seems it might tear at the seams
[02:45.165]Why’d you think so much poker is strip off?
[02:47.711]Now let’s see who’s next in line to proclaim
[02:50.120]They can be king just by making it reign
[02:52.696]A million monarchs competing for dwindling court seating
[02:55.757]All blind to how fleeting their fame
[02:57.975]The ante is up and the cards are face down
[03:00.443]Sadly it can’t be the other way around
[03:03.052]But the biggest of figures won’t impress the digger
[03:06.346]When picking your hole in the ground
[03:08.186]
[03:10.491]If you’re ever in the dumps or feeling stuck in a rut
[03:12.338]You simply haven’t had the fun of watching number go up
[03:15.170]Oh, It's a punch in the nuts
[03:16.632]Stuck in a puddle with the wrong kind of flush
[03:18.486]Get off your butt and make the number go up
[03:20.621]You must be pretty dumb for thinking some is enough
[03:23.076]When you can add another one and make the number go up
[03:25.641]Until it crumbles to dust – another puppet for the vultures to pluck
[03:28.989]Outta’ luck – making number go up
[03:30.833]
[03:31.309]Yeah we’d really like to make another couple of bucks
[03:33.470]So won’t you play the song again and make the number go up?
