Barenaked Ladies - Down to Earth lyrics
[Barenaked Ladies - Down to Earth lyrics]
Some people are just all show
Well, I don't mind that if
The show is worth watching
But it's all bark and no tree
What's more ironic than a hippie in Versace?
It's all peace and love and limousines
You got the right message
But the wrong intentions
How can you be touchy feely
When you've lost touch?
I think it's time we had
A little intervention with you
Hey now, wake up and lose the makeup
She makes you wanna know her
When you don't know what it's worth
Now you really wanna show her
How she's just so down to Earth
Via satellite
There's no better friends than the
The kind you pay if they don't balance
Great - then the door will keep revolving
It's a tight circle of the chosen few
Well, how'd you manage that
With the recipe involving
Just a pinch of sweetness and a cup of angst?
Mix it all up you're the all-purpose flour
Though it looks delicious
Something smells bad
I don't think I'd last a
Half an hour with you
Hey now, wake up and lose the makeup
She makes you wanna know her
When you don't know what it's worth
Now you really wanna show her
How she's just so down to Earth
Via satellite
What's it like to love you
When there's no one else above you
And no one gets to know you?
Well, who'll be there to show you
Via satellite?
It's like making love to a TV
It's kinda novel
But it's miles away from satisfying
Your hangers-on say it's a great deal
But what you're selling
There's no chance in hell that I'll be buying
Hey now, wake up and lose the makeup
She makes you wanna know her
When you don't know what it's worth
Now you really wanna show her
How she's just so down to Earth
Via satellite hey now, wake up
And lose the makeup
She makes you wanna know her
When you don't know what it's worth
Now you really wanna show her
How she's just so down to Earth
Via satellite
Well, I don't mind that if
The show is worth watching
But it's all bark and no tree
What's more ironic than a hippie in Versace?
It's all peace and love and limousines
You got the right message
But the wrong intentions
How can you be touchy feely
When you've lost touch?
I think it's time we had
A little intervention with you
Hey now, wake up and lose the makeup
She makes you wanna know her
When you don't know what it's worth
Now you really wanna show her
How she's just so down to Earth

There's no better friends than the
The kind you pay if they don't balance
Great - then the door will keep revolving
