[Chorus]
Way up, way up, way up to the sky
When everybody here is sneaking in and getting high
Way up, way up, way up to the moon
Boy, it's good to know I got a bud like you
[Verse 1]
Enough, enough, there's no celebrities here
So why's the bouncer taking everything so seriously?
It's you and I, it's cool you feel the same
Like why's the DJ here if he's just pressing play?
[Pre-Chorus]
Kickin' in the basement, kickin' in the basement
Hatin' all the same things too
If I need a pick me up, would you come and pick me up?
I could really use a bud like you
To pick me
[Chorus]
Way up, way up, way up to the sky
When everybody here is sneaking in and getting high
Way up, way up, way up to the moon
Boy, it's good to know I got a bud like you
Way up, way up, way up to the sky
When everybody here is sneaking in and getting high
Way up, way up, way up to the moon
Boy, it's good to know I got a bud like you
Boy, it's good to know I got a bud like you
[Verse 2]
Enough, enough, there's no one here that we know
I think I knew a girl who knew the host, but she's heading home
We're standing, laughing at the disco ball
Like who'd invest in that when no one's looking at it?
[Pre-Chorus]
Kickin' in the basement, kickin' in the basement
Hatin' all the same things too
If I need a pick me up, would you come and pick me up?
I could really use a bud like you
To pick me
[Chorus]
Way up, way up, way up to the sky (Way up to the sky)
When everybody here is sneaking in and getting high
Way up, way up, way up to the moon
Boy, it's good to know I got a bud like you
Way up, way up, way up to the sky
When everybody here is sneaking in and getting high (Woah, and getting high)
Way up, way up, way up to the moon (Oh)
Boy, it's good to know I got a bud like you
Boy, it's good to know I got a bud like you (Go!)
Boy, it's good to know I got a bud like you (Like you)
Boy, it's good to know I got a bud like you
[Bridge]
Boy, it's good to know (Bud like—)
Boy, it's good to know (I got a—)
Way up (Bud like—)
Way up to the moon
[Outro]
To pick me way up, way up, way up to the sky
When everybody here is sneaking in and getting high
Way up, way up, way up to the moon
Boy, it's good to know I got a bud like you
Way up, way up, way up to the sky
When everybody here is sneaking in and getting high (Woah, and getting high)
Way up, way up, way up to the moon
Boy, it's good to know I got a bud like you (Bud like you)
Boy, it's good to know I got a bud like you (Go!)
Boy, it's good to know I got a bud like you
Boy, it's good to know I got a bud like you
