lyrics

Up Here on the 83rd Floor

Up here on the 83rd floor
I don’t have a care in the world
I don’t hear a sound
Coming up from the ground
With all the money I make
I’ve got a view of the lake

Up here on the 83rd floor
Life is clean, so serene
We don’t have any crime
Nobody begs for a dime
Up on the 80- 80- 83rd Floor

I live in luxury
I don’t even know
What those common people do
If they had bucks like me
They too could feel free
Instead of living in a human zoo...
No dirt, no grease, no grime
And it’s quiet all the time
I’ve got everything I need
I don’t pay the world no heed
Up on the 80-80- 83rd floor

And at night when I get high
I watch the planes fly by
Smoke cigarettes, stare at the jets
Can’t think that nothing could ever be finer
Nothing could be finer than the 83rd Floor
I really found out what living is for
So take your houses in the suburbs
Your mansions and your farms
And pass me my martini ‘cause it’s getting warm
