Upright

The Argonauts always intrigued me

They typified every man

Happy unless something popped up

That wasn't part of the plan

But there'd been no pretention of plans from the start

So why did they go?

Were they stupid and slow?

They were so cocky and sure

At the start of the show

But when the sails went flat

And the Argo just sat

Or the rocks came crashing

Or the water ran low

When Hercules split

And Jason admitted he didn't know where to go, he said,

"You can whine until your mouth dries up

You can hang your head and wonder why

You can die or you can stand upright

And never go down again."

Sisyphus always intrigued me

He never decided to stop

The point of it lay in the trying

And not in attaining the top

Granted, he didn't have much of a choice,

But neither do you, and neither do I

And neither do you, and neither do I

But even Mr. Moneybags on the hill

Has never stopped pushing and never quite will

We're not just here to see how hard we try

But the way we try, and it ain't no lie...

Well, you can whine until your mouth dries up

You can hang your head and wonder why

You can die or you can stand upright

And never go down again

LET'S GO! (musical interlude)

So I'm making up songs in my head to

The cadence of seams in the road.

Most of them suck. It kills time, though;

We've got a freaking long way to go.

But our hearts are strong and our minds intact

And we're never gonna stop

And that's a big, fat fact.

A little cream in my coffee and a good CD

Making everybody sing along with me...

Well, you can whine until your mouth dries up

You can hang your head and wonder why

You can die or you can stand upright

And never go down again

Well, you can whine until your mouth dries up

You can hang your head and wonder why

You die or stand upright

And never go down again.

And never go down again.

HUH.
