Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Always been in trouble
Nearly all of my life
Always been in trouble
Struggle, scorn and strife
[Verse 2]
Down on the bottom
Down to the last drop in the cup
Down on the bottom
With no place to go now but up
[Verse 3]
Go find you my bluebird
Flyin' so high up above
Go find me my bluebird
Find me somebody to love
[Verse 4]
Down on the bottom
Down to the last drop in the cup
Down on the bottom
No place to go now but up
[Verse 5]
Go find me my bluebird before it turns and disappears
See the sky is painted before it rains down like tears
[Verse 6]
The hour of eleven
The little finger of fate
Pointin' to Heaven before it's too late
[Verse 7]
Down on the bottom
Down to the last drop in the cup
Down on the bottom
[Verse 8]
No place to go now but up
[Verse 9]
Down on the bottom
No place to go now but up
[Verse 10]
Up
Up
Written by: Bob Dylan, Elvis Costello
