You'll never have to hear the word "no" If you keep all your friends on the payroll The non-disclosure pages signed Your secrets safe between those lines The scaffolding will cheer and console you But remember what your mother told you That good help is so hard to find For people who are so refined You're trying to turn into the skid In this never-ending grid There's a long, slow fade To a darkened stage And I hear you say "Only a fool gives it away" You said you wanna stake out your claim High above this city from where you came But beware that the air's so thin It starves the brain of oxygen And oh it's such a dangerous place For there are more ascensions than there is space Angels causing accidents The camera phones will document But if I start to levitate Pull me down with all your weight CHORUS You're trying to turn into the skid In this never-ending grid But you should know it's not ideal With all those hands upon the wheel CHORUSx2
