Duke Jupiter Poppy Lyrics

Did you ever get the feeling
There just ain't nothing you can do?
You stand by half asleep
As your life leaves the room

You can't sleep at night
You start to shiver and shake
You start drinking from the bottle
You start planning your next mistake

You try not to say the things that shouldn't be said
You know it's just a dumb game you play with yourself
You never come out ahead
It might be the time of year, might just be the place
No, it's just another game you play with yourself
You're tired of running away

You get tired of running away, mmmm yeah

Last night, I saw a man fall off a wire
150 feet, straight down, to the sidewalk
The people looking up, they cried out in terror
That wind started taking that daredevil's dare
I thought I saw him smile as he started to fall

Someone said
Now Sit down Poppy, Poppy sit down.
Sit down Poppy, Poppy sit down.

Now listen here

A screen writer in New York Don't stand a chance on the Brooklyn Bridge
If you want to make the Action Movie News
you got to jump and jump quick

It's time for a decision
You can't make the crowd wait
The lines are getting long
The bridge is sagging under the weight

That bridge is sagging under the weight

Last night, I saw a man fall off a wire
150 feet, straight down, to the sidewalk
The people looking up, they cried out in terror
That wind started taking that daredevil's dare
I thought I saw him smile as he started to fall

Someone said
Now Sit down Poppy, Poppy sit down.
Sit down Poppy, Poppy sit down.

Sit down Poppy, Poppy sit down
Sit down Poppy, Poppy sit down
Sit down Poppy, Poppy sit down
Sit down Poppy, Poppy sit down

I wish we were on the beach in Peurto Rico tonight, baby
The thin line gets so wide, you smother me in the lights
You smother me in the lights
You smother me in the lights
