Going Up 1917

The world is always wanting something new
sensations only last a day or two,
but there's a feeling
that I'd like to bet,
If once you've known it
you won't soon forget.

You start to sway
and then you shut your eyes
you're on the way
that leads to Paradise,
all you can do is
to cling as you swing
and you wing higher, higher,
ev'ry tingling nerve on fire now.
You want to shout out loud,
you don't know how,
you're in a golden cloud,
you're going up, going up,
like a rocket gone insane,
sailing in an aeroplane.

You start to sway
and then you shut your eyes
you're on the way
that leads to Paradise,
all you can do is
to cling as you swing
and you wing higher, higher,
ev'ry tingling nerve on fire now.
You want to shout out loud,
you don't know how,
you're in a golden cloud,
you're going up, going up,
like a rocket gone insane,
sailing in an aeroplane.

A "mile a minute" once
was going some,
and "looping loops"
supposed to thrill you dumb,
but these are now a turtle's stupid pace,
compared to just a little ride in space.

You start to sway
and then you shut your eyes
you're on the way
that leads to Paradise,
all you can do is
to cling as you swing
and you wing higher, higher,
ev'ry tingling nerve on fire now.
You want to shout out loud,
you don't know how,
you're in a golden cloud,
you're going up, going up,
like a rocket gone insane,
sailing in an aeroplane.

You start to sway
and then you shut your eyes
you're on the way
that leads to Paradise,
all you can do is
to cling as you swing
and you wing higher, higher,
ev'ry tingling nerve on fire now.
You want to shout out loud,
you don't know how,
you're in a golden cloud,
you're going up, going up,
like a rocket gone insane,
sailing in an aeroplane.
