Uphill

As he was rushing round the Greyhound As he changed his velvet gown Turning over in his grey yard 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 moving up the hill now Moving, up, up, up, up slow As he changed his gears 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 ranger As he felt the velvet touch Crying for his grandmother As he came upon his clutch 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 car in reverse As he changed his hot rod car He just kept on changing, going uphill He never stopped, he'll never stop As his flash lights changed to beacons And his heart name chained to gold He came running across 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 could 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 So the night changed into sun As the crystal face 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 dreams As he moved across outside Just kept going 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, going uphill Changing slowly, going uphill As he crossed across the sun Dynamite weapons brought him down But his heart fingered no hope longer As his feet could not touch the ground Was changing slowly, going uphill He's changing slowly, going uphill Changing slowly, going uphill Changing slowly, going uphill As 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, going uphill Changing slowly, going uphill Changing slowly, going uphill Changing slowly
