Lyric 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 lets 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 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 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

And everybody s yelling at me to get back in 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
