Everybody cheats, of course
All my upset and much more
Coming back now, I put out the lights
And I'm the type to get up tight
Should have read a boring book
One with words I'd overlook
God make me bored, so I can put out the lights


So I won't get up tight
Get up tight
Get up tight
Get up tight


Wandered into fallacy
Dummy words have filled our cheeks
We lay on hammocks and put out the lights
And watched the sky for peace of mind
However beautiful this seems
It's just one of my daydreams
It'll all be over when we put out the lights


So I won't get up tight
Get up tight
Get up tight
Get up tight

Look across the river
A movers and shapers town
Will guide you through the winter
Will pick you up when you are down

She's in love with someone else
None of it does bother me
It's so frustrating when we put out the lights
I can't seem to sleep, get up tight
She said I'm stuck in paranoia
Come here 'cause I do adore you
Now I know why she told me lies


So I looked across the river
A movers and shapers town
Will guide you through the winter
Will pick you up when you are down
Look across the river
A movers and shapers town
Will guide you through the winter
Will pick you up when you are down

Pick you up (I'm up tight)
Pick you up (I'm up tight)
Pick you up (I'm up tight)
Pick you up when you are down
(Hey)
