[Chorus]
Hey! The ground is gone
Don't look now, but the ground is gone
I'm so high that the ground is gone
And I don't even✦ know which cloud I'm on
Don't look down, but the ground is gone
Don't look down 'cause the ground is gone
Right now, I'm a million✦ miles✦ from home
And I'm so high that the ground is gone
[Verse 3]
Hey, I know a girl named✦ Crystal, her last name Ball
I look into✦ her eyes, and I can see it all
I see it when she cry, I'm there when she call
'Cause I live inside✦ of the mirror on the wall
Kill-Kill 'em all, die in the spirit✦ of the war
Thinkin' what am I, be in spiritual fall
Huh, shit, 'cause ain't no love
Die while America drink your blood
It ain't no hurricane, it ain't no flood
It's some other✦ shit that we ain't know of
Make that money,✦ yeah, make that money✦
Then watch the government take that money✦
But we gon' raise hell, motherfucker get well
Laws get passed✦ and economies fail
Love, hate, emotion,✦ compulsion✦
Addiction,✦ diction,✦ virgins, dickses
Minglin', mixin', swingin', switchin'
Swaggin', sweet, freaks, faggots
Flames,✦ fashion,✦ planes,✦ crashin'
Ground, zero...✦
[Pre-Chorus]

Let's jump off a building,✦ baby✦
[Chorus]
Hey! The ground is gone
Don't look now, but the ground is gone
I'm so high that the ground is gone
And I don't even✦ know which cloud I'm on
Don't look down, but the ground is gone
Don't look down 'cause the ground is gone
Right now, I'm a million✦ miles✦ from home
And I'm so high that the ground is gone
[Outro]
Let's, let's, let's jump off a buildin',✦ baby✦
Let's jump, jump out a window✦

Verified Doubles & Entendres

"Crystal, her last name Ball"

① A reference to a woman named Crystal Ball, a tool for divination and future-seeing.② A literal naming convention that sets up the following line about seeing everything in her eyes.

"I live inside of the mirror on the wall"

① A surrealist, claustrophobic image of being trapped within a reflection.② A reference to being 'seen' or reflected in the subject's gaze, playing off the 'Crystal Ball' metaphor.

Effective use of nominal wordplay to establish a surreal tone

Strong rhythmic consistency that reinforces the 'high' theme

Coherent atmospheric world-building through repetition

Relies heavily on basic rhyme pairings

Limited vocabulary range in the chorus section

Structural simplicity bordering on redundancy
