Uptown Girl - K-OS, Emily Haines, MURRAY LIGHTBURN

Uh, its like a brand new thing

Switch off the auto-tune toes toward this red thing

She told me to come hang at the dock of the bay

I said no way I’d rather kick it with Graham and Jane

See now you’re lost in the plot

We’re not, we’re just true black diamond hearts

You put us on the cover to cover back to back

Sun doesn’t shine

Its still a funk pop marshall ahh

I’m not from the ghetto

But my mama is and she’s an uptown girl

I know it’s hard to let it go

But you gotta stay up when you’re down

Another world, another town

Another letdown

It’s all the same

Oh it’s insane

And there’s no one to blame

Connect the dots omit the Gobots

Hotels, new towns takin' up whole blocks

Taxi, take me to the jam of the year

Get there everybody stop and stare

At the disco ball won’t miss my call to rock

Fistful of dots and a new boom box

Bangin, slangin, a capellas to sellas

Don’t be jealous, what if all we say is embellished?

Yo it’s an uptown world

Electric slide to the side of your mind

Hey to her to me it’s all the same

No man’s land is how I’m playin the game

I think I lost my mind to a backseat driver in a cab by the moonlight side

Uptown

Make a move uptown

Uptown

Make a move uptown

I’m not from the ghetto

But my mama is and she’s an uptown girl

I know it’s hard to let it go

But you gotta stay up when you’re down

Can’t stop this boat from sinking

To new depth’s that I hope we never see again

Can’t stop this boat from sinking

To new depth’s that I hope we never see again

I’m not from the ghetto

But my mama is and she’s an uptown girl

I know it’s hard to let it go

But you gotta stay up when you’re down

Another world, another town

Another letdown

It’s all the same

(Oh it’s insane)

It’s always the same

And there’s no one to blame

Another world, another town

Another letdown

It’s all the same

(Oh it’s insane)

It’s always the same

And there’s no one to blame

Can’t stop this boat from sinking

To new depth’s that I hope we never see again

Can’t stop this boat from sinking

To new depth’s that I hope we never see again
