How can you say there's only one way up?nYou know there's a million ways downnSome folks are falling, others trying to get upnI'm the one staggering aroundnnHow can you lay there when you got to get upnWhen other folks are going downtown?nSome of them flying out or making a busnAnd you're just laying aroundnnHow can you say it's just beginner's lucknWhen a kid picks up on the sound?nI'm flipping and a-floppping, don't know which way is upnBut you know what it means to be downnnHow can you say there's only one way upnWhen you know there's a million ways down?nSome folks are falling, others trying to get upnAnd I'm the one who is staggering aroundnAnd I'm the one who is staggering around
