The Up

I can't stand to watch the six o'clock news

It's enough to give an average

Sensitive person the blues

Can't get it up

I don't know about commercial appeal

But what you put in your head

Just can't help affect how you feel

So let's keep it up

Prophets of doom try to capture you

They get around like the asian flu

But they can't get me

Because I go for the up

I'm on the upside

(I look for the up)

That down just ain't my style

I go for the up

I'm hooked on the up

I'm on the upswing

(I look for the up)

I got my sights set high

I go for the up

What's the point of standing out in the rain?

What's the sense of looking down?

It just gives your shoulders a pain

Can't get it up

It's a self-fulfilling prophecy

If you look for the worst then that's 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 can't touch me

Because I go for the up

I'm on the up side

(I look for the up)

That down just ain't my style

I go for the up

I'm hooked on the up

I'm on the upswing

(I look for the up)

I got my sights set high

I go for the up

And everybody's yelling at me to get back in the line

And they say I'm crazy

But still they have their sessions of deep depressions

But it can't get me

Because I go for the up

I'm on the upside

(I look for the up)

That down just ain't my style

I go for the up

I'm hooked on the up

I'm on the upswing

(I look for the up)

I got my sights set high

I go for the up

(I go for the up, I'm hooked on the up, I look for the up)

I'm on the upside

That down just ain't my style

(I look for the up)

I go for the up

I look for the up

(I go for the up, I'm hooked on the up, I try for the up)

I'm on the upswing

I got my sights set high

(I'm hooked on the up)

I go for the up

(I go for the up, I'm hooked on the up, I look for the up)

I'm on the upside

That down just ain't my style

(I look for the up)

I go for the up

(I go for the up, I'm hooked on the up, I try for the up)

I'm on the upswing

I got my sights set high

(I'm hooked on the up)

I go for the up
