  • It's high now
    So low it's high
    Like this, check it out yo

    Took a trip on a bus that I didn't know
    Met a girl sellin' drinks at the disco
    Said "truth comes back when you let it go"
    Seems complicated 'cause it's really so simple
    Walkin' down Yonge Street on a Friday
    Can't follow them, gotta do it my way
    No fast lane, still on a highway
    Movin' in and out, no doubt there's a brighter day

    No time to get down 'cause I'm moving up
    No time to get down 'cause I'm moving up
    No time to get down 'cause I'm moving up
    Ah, ha, check out the crabs in the bucket

    No time to get down 'cause I'm moving up
    No time to get down 'cause I'm moving up
    No time to get down 'cause I'm moving up
    Ah, ha, check out the crabs in the bucket

    It's like this, it's like this
    It's like flies on the windscreen, writing on walls
    Square Biz clones claim they're havin' a ball
    Foolin' themselves just before last call
    Tic-a-tic-a-toc tic-a-tic-a-toc
    Clock strikes twelve, clock strikes one
    Smoking gun put these fools on the run
    I know it's not that simple, I know it's not that hard
    Where's your God

    No time to get down 'cause I'm moving up
    No time to get down 'cause I'm moving up
    No time to get down 'cause I'm moving up
    Ah, ha, check out the crabs in the bucket

    No time to get down 'cause I'm moving up
    No time to get down 'cause I'm moving up
    No time to get down 'cause I'm moving up
    Ah, ha, check out the crabs in the bucket

    Yeah know I mean
    Yeah, I heard you man, yo, check, yo, yo

    It's a conniption fit when the microphones lit
    I take it higher like a bird on a wire, retire the fire
    I'll never 'cause I'm just moving on up
    Choosin' to touch, the unseen, craving the clutch
    The most inevitable, legible pyromania
    Slaying the devil, and send him back to Transylvania
    Strangely enough, I avoid that side of the ghetto
    From my heavy metal, will settle the puppets like Geppetto
    Damm, if mirrors where created by sand
    Then I'm looking in the water for reflections of man
    Understand the minds above time when it's empty
    MC, Tragically Hip, ahead by a century (rah)

    No time to get down 'cause I'm moving up
    No time to get down 'cause I'm moving up
    No time to get down 'cause I'm moving up
    Ah, ha, check out the crabs in the bucket

    No time to get down 'cause I'm moving up
    No time to get down 'cause I'm moving up
    No time to get down 'cause I'm moving up
    Ah, ha, check out the crabs in the bucket Writer/s: Kevin Deron Brereton
