or some permutation of that lyric. it seems its been used by every rock band on earth ever. who the hell came up with it? theres also always the clever little lyricist that switches it around so its even MORE crazy.

Black Oak Arkansas' "Feet On Earth, Head In Sky" is one of the best tunes ever!

like that one guy Blank Frack from the Pixels who sang it all twisty-like in that one song "Where Did My Mind Go?"

Midnight Oil were using it ironically by 1984: "it's heavy traffic, jacarandas, eye in sky and foot on ground" ["Who Can Stand In The Way"]

Fiona Apple's "Sleep To Dream": "I got my feet on the ground and I don't go to sleep to dream / You got your head in the clouds and you're not at all what you seem"

Depeche Mode's "Useless": "You've got your head in the clouds / You should see how it feels / With your feet on the ground"

311's "Down": "Keep my feet on the ground / Keep my head in the clouds"

"Feet on the ground / Head in the sky /It's ok I know nothing's wrong . . nothing" - Talking Heads, "(Naive Melody) This Must Be the Place"

I must really not mind this cliche, though, because "Naive Melody" and "Where is My Mind?" both slay me every time.
