What Goes Up

You can wave with a stick

And the violins are quick to follow

And you can wave with a stick

But the magic of the trick is hollow

It's not gold, it's no deal

If you wanna know what is real

Don't sink your teeth into it

Man, I've put the popcorn and sweets

Down on your empty seat

'Cause you didn't make it

What goes up

Must come down, and down it stays

You're telling me

You're telling me to call it a day

It's a gravitational threat

To resurrect from the dead, sweet Jesus

But I gotta give it to you

It takes originality and wit

If you're burying your shit when it freezes

It's not gold, it's no deal

If you wanna know what is real

Don't sink your teeth into it

You know what goes up

Must come down, and down it stays

What goes up

Must come down, and down it stays

What goes up

You're telling me

You're telling me how it is

You're telling me

You're telling me you call it a day
