Going Up

Like water through a drain

I'm spinnin' down, down, down

Like the needle in my vein

You're bringin' me down, down, down

Like a dog who's gone insane

You're puttin' 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 comin' up

I'm comin' up

I'm comin' up

I'm comin' up

And this world ain't gonna catch me going down

Like the booze deep in my belly

I'm going down, down, down

And for twenty bucks in the alley

I'm running 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 comin' up

I'm comin' up

I'm comin' up

I'm comin' up

And the world ain't gonna catch me going down

Oh, won't you please believe me?

Oh baby, don't you leave me

Why won't you say you need me?

Please use them breasts to feed me

I ain't going down

For my ma who always honored me

I'm running down, down, down

For my pa who never wanted me

Can you feel what's going on?

I'm comin' up

I'm comin' up

I'm comin' up

I'm comin' up

And the world ain't gonna catch me going down
