Up & Down

(Originally Written March 16, 2003)

Up and down
we circle round
to pick our dates
to pick our crowns

Its prom season once again.
Would you like to go, but just as friends?
Sure, why not it'll be lots of fun
When it's over just leave with some one else
Wh0 needs self-esteem when your seventeen?

Up and down
we circle round
to pick our jobs
to smile and frown

I'm sorry sir
But you just don't have the experience we're looking for
Sure of course, I understand
I'm just not your man
When you need me though
I'll be here working as the cashier

Up and Down
they circle round
to pick the stone
to throw it down

No job and no degree,
No wife, no girl, just misery

Up and down

we circle round

to pick our dates

to pick our crowns

Thanks you so much for the reminder
And I'll be sure to let her know when I find her...
What a fuck up I am

Up and down
we circle round

Up and down

we circle round
