The Up

I cant stand to watch the six oclock news
Its enough to give an average, sensitive person the blues.
Cant get it up
I dont know about commercial appeal
But what you put in your head
Just cant help affect how you feel
So lets keep it up
Prophets of doom try to capture you
They get around like the asian flu,
But they cant get me
Because i go for the up
Im on the up side
I look for the up (that down just aint my style)
I go for the up
Im hooked on the up
Im on the upswing (i got my sights set high)
I go for the up
Whats the point of standing out in the rain,
Whats the sense of looking down,
It just gives your shoulders a pain
Cant get it up
Its a self-fulfilling prophecy
If you look for the worst then thats just
What it turns out to be
So keep looking up
The fickle finger just may point your way
It touches someone different every day,
But it cant touch me
Because i go for the up
And everybodys yelling at me to get back in line,
And they say im crazy,
But still they have their sessions of deep depressions,
But it cant get me
Because i go for the up
