bob lind the only way is down

Pulp

When you think you re treading water, but you re just learning how to drown.
And a song comes on the radio telling you that The Only Way is Down .
You re out of luck, you re out of time, get out of here.
Your lover just traded you in for the very same model but a much more recent year.
It will not stop, it will get worse from day to day til you admit that you re a fuck-up; like the rest of us.
Oh, that s the time you fall apart .
That s the time the teardrops start & that s the time you fall in love again.
Yeah, that s the time you fall in love again.
The recreational pursuits that made you shine have worn you thin.
And it s oh so fine getting out of your mind as long as you can find your way back in.
You want someone to screw your brains out
I d say they re running out of time & they d only go & cut themselves on the daggers of your mind.
This is your future.
This is the sentence you must serve til you admit that you re a fuck-up like the rest of us.
Oh, that s the time you fall apart.
That s the time the teardrops start & that s the time you fall in love again.
When you ve had enough, when you ve had too much,
when you got knocked down & you never got up.
That s the time you fall in love again.
Oh, when you walked into the room I could not breathe, I could not speak.
Please could I hide myself inside you?
As far inside as it s possible to be.
Can you assist me? I could not make it on my own.
Can I give you all the love I have?
It s not much but I ll try & raise a loan.
I have no pride left, no, no there is nothing I m trying to prove
No, I am a fuck-up; just the same as you.
Oh, I guess this is where I fall apart
And I guess this is where the teardrops start but I don t care cos I just fell in love again.
And I d had enough - well, far too much
I just fell down, could you please help me up?
Cos if you help me maybe I could fall in love again. Na na na.
