Upsies Downsies

from Calling in Threats by Panic Bomber

/

lyrics

Pick up
Take out
Back to the beginning
Pig in
Freak out
This isn't really happening

Losing our control over reality

Upsies
Downsies
Feeling it in your spleen

Kick it
Push it
Scrape it
Hit it
Bite it
Punch it
Loath it
Fight it
Pull it
Stomp it

Or we could

Love it
Hug it
Lick it
Kiss it
Touch it
Make it
Bring it
Soothe it
Smooth it
Smooch it

Or we could

Fix it
Ride it
Learn it
Shake it
Build it
Crop it
Trash it
Take it
Fuck it
Fuck it
Fuck it

All we humans do is ride the upsies downsies waves

What do you want to see?
How much will you believe?
Suspend your disbelief
There's a truth amongst the trees
Feel my fingers down your neck
My digits sticking to your sweat
This is not the only oneness
There are others coming yet

Time will toss us all into obscurity

Upsies downsies
Interpret it as purity

I love you
Or at least I think I could
It's been so long since I met someone I could
There's a place
Somewhere that cannot be seen
It ebbs and flows, sticks to the walls in between

Fear washes over us like snow
The mind killer steps to blow
But when the dust settles will we have stood our ground
Or have scuttled down below?
You touch my head and calm me down
The ground opens wide and round
And if we both fall in
There'll be no more gloating of losses or of wins
