Can — Uphill

He was rushing round the Greyhound As he changed his velvet gown Turning over in his graveyard He could not hear another sound He kept pushing ‘cross the wayside As his ever-ringing eye But his mellow mind kept ringing As he changed into a spy Kept on moving up the hill now Moving, up, up, up, now slow As he changed his years to low gear He could hear the velvet slow Changing uphill as he rose now Changing uphill as he rose Changing uphill as he rose now Changing uphill as he rose Keep on moving sideways (lane-ger?) As he felt the velvet touch Crying for his grandmother As he came upon his crush Calling, changing, going uphill Calling, changing, going uphill Calling, changing, going uphill Calling, changing, going uphill As he flashed across the streambed And this period came to a stop He tried putting his car in reverse As he changed his hot rod car He just kept on changing, going uphill He’ll never stop, he’ll never stop ooh As his flash lights changed to beacons And his heart name changed to gold He came running ‘cross the highway As he tried to back off slow Changing uphill, going slowly Changing uphill, going slowly Changing uphill, going slowly Changing uphill, going slowly Changing uphill, going slowly Changing uphill, going slowly As his feeble heart came inside And his night changed into day He couldn’t take the melted prism As he turned his heart away He was changing uphill, going slowly Changing uphill, going slowly Changing uphill, going slowly Changing uphill, going slowly Velvet night changed into sun As the crystal lakes could sing Changing uphill, going slowly Changing uphill, going slowly Changing uphill, going slowly Changing uphill, going slowly As he came across the top, babe Crying for his dynamite He kept pushing through the sweet dreams As he moved across outside Changing slowly, going uphill Changing slowly, going uphill Changing slowly, going uphill Changing slowly, going uphill Changing slowly, going uphill Changing slowly, going uphill Changing slowly, going uphill Changing slowly As he crossed across the sun Dynamite couldn’t brought him down But his heart lingered no longer As his feet could not touch the ground He was changing slowly, going uphill He was changing slowly, going uphill Changing slowly, going uphill Changing slowly, going uphill As the night turned silver pale And the green land took sail above Changes gears into reverse Changing slowly, going uphill Changing slowly, going uphill Changing slowly Changing slowly, going uphill Changing slowly, going uphill Changing slowly, go- As the clouds refused to see
