Our apartment’s on the seventh floor
We live above a little mini mart
A crazy lady shouts that she is God
As she pushes along her shopping cart
People come and people go
To buy the things that they need
In and out in and out in and out
Like one long centipede
I'm so high I kiss the sky
So high I can’t come down
No I’m not like them people
All them people in this town
I stand here by this window
The shades are dirty and gray
One day I plan to clean ‘em
One day soon, yeah one day
Sometimes I’m kinda jealous
I feel like I’m in jail
Didn't usta be like this
But I lost it all wholesale
This is not my home
Not where I should be, no no
This is not my home
Not my land of the free
This is not my home, no
Not where I belong, oh yeah
This is not my home
This is just wrong, just wrong
Yeah I am sitting way up here
Inside this iron cage
I practice doing yoga
To deal with all my rage
Down below the world keeps on turning
And it sure ain't purty
Down below the world revolves
And it’s all so fucking dirty
One day maybe I'll move away
Find myself some a brand new dig
Decorate it up to the nines
Stop living like a pig
But till then I'll hang out here
With the life that I have made
Watching all them people down below
And casting off some shade
