Top Shelf from Looking Back by Wishful Thinking

I wish I could reach the top shelf
reach the top shelf
it's so high

I want that mug on the top shelf
on the shelf so high

Maybe, I'll stand on a stool
stand on a stool
and reach up high

Yes, I can stand on a stool
and reach the shelf up high

so high
so high
oh tell
me why
why must
it be
so high?

If I stretch, I can just reach
I can just reach
way up high

If I stretch, yes I can just reach
reach that mug up high

so high
so high
oh tell
me why
why must
it be
so high?

If I fall, I'll crash down
I'll crash down
from way up high

If I fall, I'll crash down
crash down from up high

so high
so high
oh please tell
me why
why must
it be
be so high?

So high so high this is so why
I'm crying no I'm not denying
this is why I so hate
flying so high
so high

So high up in the sky past
mountain tops so high
where eagles fly
so high I need a guide
so high

so high
so high
please tell
me why
why must
it be
so high?

If I fall, I'll crash down
I'll crash down
from way up high

If I fall, I'll crash down
crash down from up high
if only the mug could fly
