Come on up for Verizon
Come on up for the Rising
Come on up for Verizon
Come on up for the risin'.
Come on up for the Lysol
Come on up for the rising
Come on up for the bison
Come on up for the Rising
Come on up the horizon
or
Coming up the horizon
or
Comin' up the horizon
Come on up for the rising
Come on up, Burt Reynolds.
Come on up for the risin'.
Come on up, Verizon.
Come on up for the risin'.
Come on up, Verizon
Come on up for the rising
Don't want to work for Verizon
Come on up, help me pull this telephone line
Don't want to work for Verizon
Don't want to work for Verizon now.
Come on up for the rising
Come on up, lay your hands in mine
Come on up for the rising
Come on up for the rising tonight.
Exhausting all your fiery lights
Lord, as I stand before your fiery light
Hip urban winds fill my arms tonight
Your burning wind fills my arms tonight
Hip urban winds fill my arms tonight
Your burning wind fills my arms tonight
Like a cactus dancing on the end of my line
Like a catfish dancing on the end of my line
Like a cactus dancing on the end of my line
Like a catfish dancing on the end of my line
Passing nothing in front of me
Passing nothing coming up behind
Can't see nothing in front of me
Can't see nothing coming up behind
Passing nothing in front of me
Passing nothing coming up behind
Can't see nothing in front of me
Can't see nothing coming up behind
The tree of life
The dream of life
