In and out That's the way in I saw an old sign When my world was way down Quiet on the streets So I climbed the stairs To the rarified air I've been on fire Made from my thoughts I thought up my life by
Out then back in That's the way to begin But I had to climb down Into today And give up the pain I held myself up by
Baby, be simple Baby, be simple Be simple Be simple with me
Out, thicker skin That's no way to begin Come with your true arc To fall all the way down Like an empire Into a kingdom of guts To become a rooftop
I built me from the bedrock Made me right up Ignited little tunes While the wind was still Trying to find a way to tell you If or not the true arc Is even there Or on a pillow of air I'll rip me apart by the lore Cause to become that rooftop I had to fall all the way down
Baby, be simple Baby, please be simple Be simple Be simple with me
