We could be up in the clouds
We could be up in the clouds

But who cares now?
[Chorus]
We could be up in the clouds
Up in the clouds
Up in the clouds
Up in the clouds
[Bridge]
Yeah.. ohh.. yeah
Yeah.. ohh.. yeah
[Chorus]
We could be up in the clouds
Up in the clouds
We could be up in the clouds
We could be up in the clouds
We could be up in the clouds
Up in the clouds
