Downup Songtext
von Cardiacs

Get it on, pull it off again
Tear it down, turn around
Ring it in, ring ′em out
Put 'em on again
Spin ′em in, tear it down
Cough it up, choke it down
Fuck it up again, suck it up
With a grin, cut it down

Loves like a bug
Lived careless but honestly
Life fearless, wouldn't it be found?
Count us down

This careful love
Cack-handed Missus on a swizz
Let's build it in, get it on the world
Left to grow an ideal


Love casts a glow
Lays tracks upon a raging sea
In fear, he admits he′s got a dungeon full
All of his own

I stared them down
Loose chemical qualities
Live theoried, it′s-a-getting far a-blown
On its own little fears

Get it on, pull it off again
Tear it down, turn around
Ring it in, ring 'em out
Put ′em on again
Spin 'em in, tear it down
Cough it up, choke it down
Fuck it up again, make it drown
Suck it up, cut it down

A sit down bug
Well scared they ballast, he′s
Kid stripped them, what you saying?
Cut 'em all, cut the ground with ideas
All wall without tears


Get it on, pull it off again
Tear it down, turn around
Ring it in, ring ′em out
Put 'em on again
Spin 'em in, tear it down
Cough it up, choke it down
Fuck it up again, suck it up
Cut it down to the ground

Getting on, put it off again
Tear it down, turn around
Ring it in, ring ′em out
Put ′em on again
Spin it in, tear it down
Cough it up, choke it down
Slice it up again, suck it up
Cut it down with a grin

Get it on, dig it up again
Tear it down, turn around
Ring it in, cut it down
Put it on again, cough it up
Tear it down to the ground
