Lyrics

We know the galaxy's full of black holes
We don’t know which ones have the pay tolls
Ooh take a look out, take a look inside
This is whole new kind of illusion
Based on a brand new kind of confusion
Built on wise decisions, based on foolish pride
And you wonder why you wasted all this time
Ooh trying to find gold in a salt mine
And now you reached the limit, but the limit is the sky

Ooh straight up one more, straight up one more time
Oh straight up one more, straight up one more time

This is a character assassination
This is a character that needs a vacation
Too soon, too long, too much for one mind
We got to step back and take inventory
You're only seeing one side of the story
And a good story is changing all the time
There is always one more sucker doing fine
One more trucker driving that white line
Delivering nothing to no one everywhere

Ooh straight up one more, straight up one more time
Oh straight up one more, straight up one more time

It's much easy to give up
It's much hard to get up
To another day just like yesterday
And this time there is no escape this time
And any explanation would be fine
And now you've reached your limit, but the limit is the sky

Oh straight up one more, straight up one more time (x4)
