[Intro: The Drifters]
Up on the roof
On the roof
When this whole start getting me down
And people are just too much
For me to take
I climb way up to the top of the stairs
And all my cares just drift right into space
[Chorus: The Drifters]
On the roof is peaceful as can be
And there the world below can't bother me
Let me tell you now when I...
[Verse 1]
Why they got to keep saying act our age
When we all at a different stage
A different page
Stories out of every book
Let me show you how different looks
Different looks
When I'm up I'm so far gone
Shipping out like Amazon
On the run like a marathon
Got my queen so Ill carry-on
Over fences Barry bonds
I've been down for the count again
Bounce back so the round don't end
Chop it up like this my blend
And she my friend
Is stronger than h**n
I recommend
Get yourself up out of the rut
It's nothing much
Something only time can touch
In my head I've been acting up
Take second just to back it up
Back it up
[Chorus: The Drifters]
On the roof is peaceful as can be
And there the world below can't bother me
Let me tell you now when I...
[Verse 2]
I can feel my soul free fallin'
Searching and it's callin'
Drifting through a dream
Please not wake me in the mornin'
I'll be up on my own level
Searching for something that special
I've been in up on my mental
I gotta get away trying to pack my bags
I'll be taking every chance I have
Leavin' my white flag
Sometimes when I'm all alone
I think about how my life has grown
Everything I got I got on my own
Push myself until I find my throne
I'll be building every day
I wonder what my grandmother would say
[Chorus: The Drifters]
On the roof is peaceful as can be
And there the world below can't bother me
Let me tell you now when I...
[Outro: The Drifters]
And if this world starts getting you down
There's room enough for two up on the roof (Up on the roof)
