Illinois Jacquet - Bottoms Up (10" LP take) Lyrics

Lyrics Bottoms Up (10" LP take) - Illinois Jacquet



Sometimes these fantasies come true
And now the whole thing misses me
Held down by fishing wire and glue
To be the best, we couldn't be
Up on the roof with the whole world at our feet
Is this everything you thought it'd be?
You waited for religiously
Just know I wouldn't hate you if you try
Old times make heroes out of fools
Now the whole thing misses me
Right at the breaking point you knew
This is the best you'd never be
Up on the roof with the whole word at our feet
Is this everything you thought it'd be?
You waited for religiously
Just know I wouldn't hate you if you try
You might, decide, to flight
Try, you might, decide, it's right
Is this everything you thought it'd be
You waited for religiously
Just know I wouldn't trade you for the world
Is this everything you thought it'd be?
Best names in the industry
Just know I wouldn't hate you if you try
