The Up Songtext
von Utopia

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 enough
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 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 up swing)
I look for the up (I′ve got my sights set high)
I go for the up


What's the point of standin' out in the rain?
What′s the sense in lookin′ down?
It just gives your shoulders a pain
You can't get enough
It′s a self-fulfilling prophecy
If you look for the worst then that's just what it turns out to be
So keep lookin′ 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 up swing)
I look for the up (I′ve got my sights set high)
I go for the up

And everybody's yelling at me to get back into 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 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 up swing)
I look for the up (I've got my sights set high)
I got my sights set high (I go for the up)
Yeah, yeah

I go for the up, I′m hooked on the up (I′m on the up side)
I look for the up, I look for the up (That down just ain't my style)
I go for the up

I go for the up, I′m into the up (I'm on the up swing)
I try for the up, I′m up for the up (I've got my sights set high)
I go for the up

I go for the up, I′m hooked on the up (I'm on the up side)
I aim for the up, I look for the up (That down just ain't my style)
I go for the up (I go for the up)
I go for the up, I′m into the up (I′m on the up swing)
I try for the up, I'm up for the up (I′ve got my sights set high)
I go for the up (I go for the up)
I go for the up, I'm into the up (I′m on the up side)
I aim for the up, I look for the up
I try for the up, I'm up for the up
