I'm going out to big plains   To see the spirits rise   Out tonight to watch them do their thing   If you're coming out with big plans   To find some paradise   Well, there's nothing here to do but limboing   And some went back   They couldn't face the black   And they're going back today with their personal things   I couldn't go back   I didn't have the knack   So I'll be staying on with my personal things   Yeah, I'll be staying on with my personal things      Well they call this a life I live on the ninety-sixth floor   And they all it a life he lives that's they guy next door   Life on the mighty brick tiers   I tried on the ninety-sixth floor   Mighty brick tiers   Ninety-sixth floor   Something had to give      Why is it so hard to live? it's just so hard to make things out   Why is it so hard to live? it's just so hard to make things out   Why is it so hard to live? it's just so hard to mkae things out   Why is it so hard to live?       Well I have a suggestion as you bark your querying   Well there ain't no congestion on a dark hyperion   In the night night night night night   In the night night night night night   No congestion   Dark hyperion   Why why why why      Well I'll tell you my philosophy things must've been grand   Way back in the old country in a younger land   Now I can hardly wait yeah   I can hardly wait to see them rise   Now I can hardly wait yeah for it to materialize   Now I can hardly wait yeah   I can hardly wait yeah   I can hardly wait to see them rise   They're so hard to make out   They're so hard to make out
