Lookin' Up Lookin' Down Lyrics - Singles - Shawn Phillips

I keep lookin' down out of my windows at the people below 

So slow 

I keep lookin' down out of my windows at the people below 

Lordy, go slow 

Sure would like to know what you been thinkin' 

But I don't want to know when you been sinkin' 

Go slow 

Yeah, sure would like to know what you been thinkin' 

But I don't want to know when you been sinkin' 

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 

Every time I'm doin' a number 

I'm thinkin' that I see your eyes 

I keep crossing over borderlines 

Seein' little babies die 

And even though I'm economizing 

I can't keep your high livin' style child 

It takes so long to believe it Charlie 

But what have you done to your smile 

I keep lookin' down out of my windows at the people below 

So slow 

I keep lookin' down out of my windows at the people below 

Lordy, so slow 

The alternative to truth is hypocrisy 

If you want to choose the latter you won't never be free 

Go slow 

The alternative to truth is hypocrisy 

If you want to choose the latter you won't 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 

Part of being free is a state of mind 

You just got to learn to leave it all behind 

Go slow
