Irmin Schmidt - Uphill lyrics

As he's rushing round the Greyhound As he changed his velvet gown Turning over in his graveyard He could have it, another sound He kept rushing 'cross the wayside As his ever-ringing eye But his mellow market bringing As he changed into a spy Kept on moving up the hill now Moving, up, up, up, up slow As he changed his years to blow, yeah He could give the velvet show 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 changer As he felt the velvet touch Crying for his grandmother As he came upon this crush Calling, changing, going uphill Calling, changing, going uphill Calling, changing, going uphill Calling, changing, going uphill As he flashed across the screaming And his big wheel kept to a start He tried putting his card in reverse As he changed his heart pick card He just kept on changing, going uphill He never stopped, he never stopped As his flash lights changed to beacons And his heart name chained 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 fever hot came inside As his night changed into day He could take the melted bisson As he turned his heart away He was changing uphill, going slowly Changing uphill, going slowly Changing uphill, going slowly Changing uphill, going slowly As his night changed into sun As the crystal pace could see Changing uphill, going slowly Changing uphill, going slowly Changing uphill, going slowly Changing uphill, going slowly As he came across the top bay Find for his dynamite He kept pushing it through the sweet dream As he moved across outside Just kept on moving, 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, going uphill Changing slowly As he crossed across the sun Dynamite just brought him down But his heart fingered the books under As his feet could not touch the ground Changing slowly, going uphill Changing slowly, going uphill Changing slowly, going uphill Changing slowly, going uphill And the night turned silver pale And the green men to sell the profit Change his 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 pounds refused to see
