Downhill (Upside Down Optimist) Songtext
von Jeremy Ivey

Woke up in the ditch of a bad situation
Last chance for any meaningful salvation
It′s been rainin' inside my house
And it′s wearin' me down

The headless body is sellin' jokes out of a pick-up
He′s the man if you know how to talk, he can hook you right up
Saw him runnin′ around on fire under hypnosis
Smart enough to be a target but he's too dumb to notice

That it′s all downhill from here
Yes, it's all downhill from here


Put the blade in me, baby, give it a twist
Everything′s impossible when you're locked in the myth
I′m just a joke myself, waitin' to be told

That it's all downhill from here
Yes, it′s all downhill

I weathered the sickness with no prognosis
Went to see the seer but she could not focus
She said all of my friends, they′re all puttin' on a show
Too old to remember, too young to know

That it′s all downhill from here
Yes, it's all downhill from here

The upside-down optimist says as he climbs
"Don′t you worry about me, this happens every time"
He's got a bright disposition but he knows how it ends


′Cause it's all downhill, my friends
Yeah, it's all downhill from here
