Текст Barenaked Ladies – Down To Earth

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?

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

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
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)
