It’s Not Dark Up Here
[Verse 1]
There's nothing funny 'bout makin' money, well
It wouldn't work if it was
There's nothing funny 'bout going to heaven
And there's nothing funny 'bout love
[Chorus]
Hey (Hey), it's not dark up here
Hey (Hey), it's not very far
Hey (Hey), it's cool in my house
Hey (Hey), it's loud in my car
[Verse 2]
It costs money if you wanna party
And it costs money if you wanna look, yeah
The Baptist church is a high school
My hairdresser, she gives me the news
[Chorus]
Hey (Hey), it's not dark up here
Hey (Hey), it's not very far
Hey (Hey), it's cool in my house
Hey (Hey), it's loud in my car
[Verse 3]
There's only one way to read a book
And there's only one way to watch TV
Well, there's only one way to smell a flower
But there's millions of ways to be free
[Bridge]
Does winter follow spring
Like night follows day?
Must a question have an answer
Can't there be another way
Would you like to talk about it?
Would you like to pull my hair?
Plants have roots
But I don't know if they're deep enough to make me stay
Does winter follow spring
Like night follows day?
Must a question have an answer
Can't there be another way
[Chorus]
Hey (Hey), it's not dark up here
Hey (Hey), it's not very far
Hey (Hey), it's cool in my house
Hey (Hey), it's loud in my car
Hey (Hey)
