Umphrey's McGee > Songs > Onward & Upward > Lyrics


    Now I can't dance for a minute
    And my bones they resemble a penguin
    Yeah and I got some of the things you never shown to you
    So let me handle your worries
    I don't mean to feel like I'm in a hurry
    But if I had just one night you know the things I would do

    Slithering like a serpent let me see what's inside
    If I had a few to drink you know I have to apologize
    At that same moment twice then I'm enjoying the view
    So if you think it's all right
    I'd stay with you tonight
    You know I know what you see I'm show you something new

    There's one thing that I needn't mention
    I don't mean to take up all your attention
    But if things I hope and think that you and me'll get me to
    If I forget your name
    Yeah you'll still be glad cause you came
    But I think it's your genes that should've taken blame

    Slithering like a serpent let me see what's inside
    If I had a few to drink you know I have to apologize
    Slithering like a serpent let me see what's inside
    If I had a few to drink you know I have to apologize
    Slithering like a serpent let me see what's inside
    If I had a few I had a few I have to apologize
    Slithering like a serpent let me see what's inside
    If I had a few to drink you know I have to apologize

    Wit and wisdom used to visit now and then
    At first I wasn't talking, only listening
    The overthinking tendency is a burden here
    But the instances of technicality I'll forgive

    I know, it's so obvious
    Enough to solve the problem here
    I know the system isn't working right
    You know as well as I deserve's too strong a word to write

    The page it seems so open, there is too much space
    Enough to fill but I'm not full of things to say
    As pride is hurled at paper it can't fill the blank
    I'm guessing I'll be thankful for the facts to thank

    I know, it's so obvious
    Enough to solve the problem here
    But I know the system isn't working right
    You know as well as I deserve's too strong a word to write (a word to write)

    I know, it's so obvious
    Enough to solve the problem here
    I know the system isn't working right
    You know as well as I deserve's too strong a word to write
