UPPER DOWNER

She’s been up all night

Getting rather trashed

She’s still awake now

Sweetly unabashed

Then you tell her to behave

And she quietly nods her head

She smiles and oh, it’s a trip

One that you love, you dread

This is that smile

That smile that brought you closer

This is that smile

That smile that says it’s over

This is that smile

That smile that abuses you slowly

And yet, this is that smile

That smile that seduces you wholly.

Upper Downer

She’ll take you in, then throw you out

Upper Downer

It’s that fix you can’t do without

Upper Downer

You want to soar, you want to dive

Upper Downer

You feel so dead, yet so alive.

He’s shaken off the memory

That he’s made with her

He’s taking off again

Because he won’t do forever

Then you’ll tell him to slow down

And he’ll shyly ask you why

He smiles and oh, it’s a trip

It makes you smile, then cry

This is that smile

That smile that feels like a rush

This is that smile

That smile that turns you to mush

This is that smile

That smile that makes you believe

And yet, this is that smile

That smile that can fully deceive.

Upper Downer

He’ll take you in, then throw you out

Upper Downer

It’s that fix you can’t do without

Upper Downer

You want to soar, you want to dive

Upper Downer

You feel so dead, yet so alive.
