so hard to make things out

i'm going out to big plains

to see the spirits rise

out tonight to watch them do their thing

if you're coming out with big plans

to find some paradise

well

there's nothing here to do but limboing

and some went back

they couldn't face the black

so they're going back today with their personal things

i couldn't go back

i didn't have the knack

yeah

so i'll be staying on with my personal things

i'll be staying on with my personal things

well

they call this a life

i live

on the ninety-sixth floor

and they call it a life

he lives

that's they guy next door

life on the mighty brick tiers

i tried on the ninety-sixth floor

mighty brick tiers

ninety-sixth floor

something had to give

why is it so hard to live? it's just so hard to make things

why is it so hard to live? it's just so hard to make things

why is it so hard to live? it's just so hard to make things out

well

i have a suggestion

as you bark your querying

well

there ain't no congestion

on a dark hyperion

in the night night night night night

in the night night night night night

no congestion

dark hyperion

oh

why why why why

why is it so hard to live? it's just so hard to make

why is it so hard to live? it's just so hard to make things

why is it so hard to live? it's just so hard to make things out

well

i'll tell you my philosophy

things must have been grand

way back in the old country

in a younger land

yeah

now i can hardly wait

yeah

i can hardly wait to see them rise

oh

i can hardly wait

yeah

for them to materialize

oh

i can hardly wait

yeah

i can hardly wait

yeah

i can hardly wait to see them rise

they're so hard to make out

they're so hard to make out
