Going Up

Like water through a drain,

I'm spinning down, down, down

Like the needle in my vein,

You're bringing me down, down, down

Like a dog who's gone insane,

You're putting me down, down, down

And those of you who doubted me,

Are going down, down, down

And the record man who never called,

Can you hear what's going on?

I'm coming up

I'm coming up

I'm coming up

I'm coming up

And the world ain't gonna catch me going down

Like the food deep in my belly,

I'm going down, down, down

And for twenty bucks in the alley,

I'm going down, down, down

Like the trail beneath your valley

I'm going down, down, down

For my ma, who's always honored me,

I'm going down, down, down

For my pa, who never wanted me,

Can you feel what's going on?

I'm coming up

I'm coming up

I'm coming up

I'm coming up

And the world ain't gonna catch me going down

Oh, won't you please beleive me,

Oh baby don't you leave me

Why wont you say you need me

Please use them breasts to feed me,

I ain't going down

For my ma, who's always honored me,

I'm going down, down, down

For my pa, who never wanted me,

Can you feel what's going on?

I'm coming up

I'm coming up

I'm coming up

I'm coming up

And the world ain't gonna catch me going down
