地下的爵士咖啡bar

你會不會仰頭看天空
看灰泥牆 看大樓 看玻璃
然後看看眼裡的倒影
看它們曾經永遠都在
曾經它們只是塊草地
唱著跳著那高樓大廈
你會笑我的安全帽
笑我的火把
你就儘管笑吧
我有我的人生哲學
我堅信不疑
這就是為什麼
我的人生哲學讓我墜落時繼續行走
我看到有邪惡
而我知道就有善念
在灰色地帶的我就不解了
你會把我當瘋子嗎
可是我把事做好
我是瘋子但我有把事做好
所以你就儘管笑吧
我有我的人生哲學
讓我墜落時繼續行走
我催促你們 因為我愛你們
我沒發現 你不樂在其中
而我把你拉上梯子 叫你飛
你拍動著翅膀 哭了 你怕高
現在你這些都視為當然
你習慣了灰泥牆大樓和玻璃
就忘了移動石頭的那個演講
真的不是你看不見 樹林中的樹
你只是沒獨自在森林中
所以你儘管笑吧
但我有我的人生哲學
你是我的朋友 我愛你
但你有你的人生哲學
現在這首歌該結束了

Won't you look up at the skyline
At the mortar, block, and glass
And check out the reflections in my eyes
See they always used to be there
Even when this was all was grass
And I sang and danced about a high-rise
And you were laughing at my helmet hat
Laughing at my torch
Go ahead and laugh all you want
I got my philosophy
And I trust it like the ground
That's why my philosophy
Keeps me walking when I'm falling down
I see that there is evil
And I know that there is good
And the in-betweens I never understood
Would you look at me I'm crazy
But I get the job done
I'm crazy but I get the job done
So go ahead and laugh all you want
I got my philosophy
And I trust it like the ground
That's why my philosophy
Keeps me walking when I'm falling down
I pushed you cause I loved you guys
I didn't realize
That you weren't having fun
And I dragged you up the stairs
And I told you to fly
You were flapping your arms
Then you started to cry, you were too high
Now you take this all for granted
You take the mortar, block, and glass
And you forget the speech that moved the stone
And it's really not that you can't see
The forest from the trees
You just never been out in the woods alone
So you can laugh all you want to
But I've got my philosophy
And I love you you're my friend
But you got no philosophy
Now it's time for this song to end
