Going Up

Like water through a drain I'm spinning down, down, down Like the needle in my vein You're bringing me down, down, down Like a dog who's gone insane You're putting me down, down, down And those of you who doubted me Are going down, down, down And the record man who never called Can you hear what's going on? I'm coming up I'm coming up I'm coming up I'm coming up And the world ain't gonna Catch me going down Like the food deep in my belly I'm going down, down, down And for twenty bucks in the alley I'm going down, down, down Like the trail beneath your valley I'm going down, down, down For my ma, who's always honored me I'm going down, down, down For my pa, who never wanted me Can you feel what's going on? I'm coming up I'm coming up I'm coming up I'm coming up And the world ain't gonna Catch me going down Oh, won't you please believe me Oh, baby, don't you leave me Why won't you say you need me? Please use them breasts to feed me I ain't going down For my ma, who's always honored me I'm going down, down, down For my pa, who never wanted me Can you feel what's going on? I'm coming up I'm coming up I'm coming up I'm coming up And the world ain't gonna Catch me going down
