Lyrics
Move on (to better things)
I think I?m ready to testify
I keep reaching for the sky
Sometimes my head is stuck in the clouds
Sometimes I just can?t catch my breath
Sometimes I feel I?m going deaf
Because the silence is so loud
No one is here
Everyone has left
And moved on to better things
While I keep searching for my groove?
Disappeared without a trace
Disoriented deep in space
Dreading the final frontier
Stiff behavior like a droid
Suffocating in the void
Can?t escape from my sphere
But no one is here
Everyone has left
And moved on to better things
While I keep searching for my groove?
(scat)
(chorus)
(scat)
go out and take a hold
get tough get bold
you're getting soft
get ready for the takeoff
in your cellar
with lofty dreams
exhibiting sloth
got to move on to better things
