Lyrics
Hey come on up, now don?t you be shy
The parties are better close to the sky
The money is tight but clothing is too
You can?t have fun till you live like we do
Now don?t go too fast in search of success
The older you?ll look the more that you press
And the ones who have more now wish they had less
The bodies are better, the bodies are better, the bodies are better up here
The bodies are better, the bodies are better, the bodies are better up here
Hey come on check ?em out down below
We think they?re on top ?cause they have all the dough
They once were here too when young without fuss
And now they pay high to look more like us
Still some of us think we want to be there
But gold is a bad exchange for no care
And they wish they were us and think it?s not fair
?Cause the bodies are better, the bodies are better, the bodies are better up here
The bodies are better, the bodies are better, the bodies are better up here
Hey now don?t whine you know it?s the truth
There is no price to recapture your youth
You had your years too to do what you could
You?ve only one shot and I hope it was good
And when it?s my turn I?ll know it?s not right
But I?ll cling to the edge and put up a fight
But when fire is doused it can?t reignite
Oh the bodies are better, the bodies are better, the bodies are better up here
The bodies are better, the bodies are better, the bodies are better up here
