Great Big Sea - When I'm Up Lyrics

I am the fountain of affection I'm the instrument of joy
And to keep the good times rolling I'm the boy, I'm the boy
You know the world could be your oyster
If you just put your trust in me
'Cause we'll keep the good times rolling
Wait and see, wait and see, I'm waiting, see

His exaltation and a sweet disintegration
A few discolorations, when it comes along
You know up is why he chooses, the kisses and the bruises
There ain't nothing he refuses, when it comes along
It comes along and I am lifted, oh I am lifted, I am lifted

When I'm up I can't get down
Can't get down, can't get level
When I'm up I can't get down
Get my feet back on the ground
When I'm up I can't get down
Can't get down, can't get level
When I'm up I can't get down
Get my feet back on the ground

He just needs, something to blind him
Something to wind him up
It won't take a long to find him when it comes on strong
Wise guys are grinning, street lights are spinning
Oh the night is just beginning, when it comes on strong
It comes on strong and I am lifted, oh I am lifted, I am lifted

When I'm up I can't get down
Can't get down, can't get level
When I'm up I can't get down
Get my feet back on the ground
When I'm up I can't get down
Can't get down, can't get level
When I'm up I can't get down
Get my feet back on the ground
I said, "No no"

It comes on strong, and I am lifted
It comes on strong, and I am lifted
I am lifted, I am lifted

When I'm up I can't get down
Can't get down, can't get level
When I'm up I can't get down
Get my feet back on the ground
I said "When I'm up I can't get down"
Can't get down, can't get level
When I'm up I can't get down
Get my feet back on the ground

When I'm up I can't get down
Can't get down, can't get level
When I'm up I can't get down
Get my feet back on the ground
I said, "No no"
Oh no no no, I cant get down, no
Oh I know, I know, know
I cant get down
