Living on the Ceiling Lyrics
You keep me running round and round,
Well that's alright with me,
Up and down, I'm up the wall,
I'm up the bloody tree.
That's alright with me,
Yeah, that's alright with me,
Well, it feels alright to me,
Yeah, it looks alright to me.
And, I'm so tall, I'm so tall,
You raise me and then you let me fall.
And I'm so small, I'm so small,
Wrap me round your finger, see me fall.
Here we go
You keep me running round and round,
Well that's alright with me,
Nothing, nothing, nothing's gonna
Step in my way.
Living on the ceiling,
No more room down there.
Things fall into place,
You get the joke, fall into place.
Well I'm so tall, I'm so tall,
You raise me and then you let me fall.
And I'm so small, I'm so small,
Wrap me round your finger, see me fall
You keep me running round and round,
Well that's alright with me,
Up and down, I'm up the wall,
I'm up the bloody tree.
Hiding from your questions,
Questions you won't ask.
"Why am I up the tree" you say,
"Why are you down there" I say.
Well I'm so tall, I'm so tall,
You raise me and then you let me fall.
And I'm so small, I'm so small,
Wrap me round your finger, see me fall.
Well that's alright with me,
Up and down, I'm up the wall,
I'm up the bloody tree.
That's alright with me,
Yeah, that's alright with me,
Well, it feels alright to me,
Yeah, it looks alright to me.
You raise me and then you let me fall.
And I'm so small, I'm so small,
Wrap me round your finger, see me fall.
Well that's alright with me,
Nothing, nothing, nothing's gonna
Step in my way.
Living on the ceiling,
No more room down there.
Things fall into place,
You get the joke, fall into place.
You raise me and then you let me fall.
And I'm so small, I'm so small,
Wrap me round your finger, see me fall
Well that's alright with me,
Up and down, I'm up the wall,
I'm up the bloody tree.
Hiding from your questions,
Questions you won't ask.
"Why am I up the tree" you say,
"Why are you down there" I say.
You raise me and then you let me fall.
And I'm so small, I'm so small,
Wrap me round your finger, see me fall.
I'm assuming it's about a manipulative partner? or maybe drugs? Damn good song.
Whoops! sorry I meant "Wrapped around your finger, see me fall"
I'm up t'bloody tree... I'm up t'bloody tree... I'm up t'bloody tree... I'm up t'bloody tree... I'm up t'bloody tree... I'm up t'bloody tree... I'm up t'bloody tree...
Great Song! So different. It's about a relationship where one person is treating the other poorly and the victim realizes it but is trying to deal with/accept the mistreatment and let the other person know that this is wrong.
The line "Wrap me round your finger, seen before" I believe should read "Wrap me round your finger, see me fall"
