[Verse 1]
How can you say there's only one way up?
You know there's a million ways down
Some folks are falling, others trying to get up
I'm the one who's staggering around

{Verse 2]
How can you lay there when you got to get up
When other folks are going downtown?
Some of them flying out or making a bus
And you're just laying around

[Verse 3]
How can you say it's just beginner's luck
When a kid picks up on the sound?
I'm flipping and a-flopping, don't know which way is up
But you know what it means to be down

[Verse 4]
How can you say there's only one way up
When you know there's a million ways down?
Some folks are falling, others trying to get up
And I'm the one who's staggering around
And I'm the one who's staggering around
