Utopia The Up lyrics

I can't stand to watch the six o'clock news
It's enough to give an average
Sensitive person the blues
Can't get it up

I don't know about commercial appeal
But what you put in your head
Just can't help affect how you feel
So let's keep it up

Prophets of doom try to capture you
They get around like the asian flu
But they can't get me
Because I go for the up

I'm on the up side
(I look for the up)
That down just ain't my style
I go for the up
I'm hooked on the up

I'm on the upswing
(I look for the up)
I got my sights set high
I go for the up

What's the point of standing out in the rain?
What's the sense of looking down?
It just gives your shoulders a pain
Can't get it up

It's a self-fulfilling prophecy
If you look for the worst then that's just
What it turns out to be
So keep looking up

The fickle finger just may point your way
It touches someone different every day
But it can't touch me
Because I go for the up

I'm on the up side
(I look for the up)
That down just ain't my style
I go for the up
I'm hooked on the up

I'm on the upswing

(I look for the up)
I got my sights set high
I go for the up

And everybody's yelling at me to get back in the line
And they say I'm crazy
But still they have their sessions of deep depressions
But it can't get me
Because I go for the up

I'm on the up side
(I look for the up)
That down just ain't my style
I go for the up
I'm hooked on the up

I'm on the upswing
(I look for the up)
I got my sights set high
I go for the up

(I go for the up, I'm hooked on the up, I look for the up)
I'm on the up side
That down just ain't my style
(I look for the up)
I go for the up
I look for the up

(I go for the up, I'm hooked on the up, I try for the up)
I'm on the upswing
I got my sights set high
(I'm hooked on the up)
I go for the up

(I go for the up, I'm hooked on the up, I look for the up)
I'm on the up side
That down just ain't my style
(I look for the up)
I go for the up

(I go for the up, I'm hooked on the up, I try for the up)
I'm on the upswing
I got my sights set high
(I'm hooked on the up)
I go for the up
