One Way Up - The Handsome Family

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

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

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

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
