Great Big Sea - When I'm Up lyrics

originally performed by Oysterband 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 our oyster, If you just put your trust in me, 'Cause we'll keep the good times rollin' Wait and see, wait and see ... oh wait and see! There's exaltations, a sweet disintegrations There's a few discolourations, then it comes along You know up is what he chooses, the kisses and the bruises There ain't nothing he refuses, then it comes along It comes along, and I am lifted, I am lifted, I am lifted! CHORUS: 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 bind him Something to wind him up It won't take long to find him When it comes on strong. Black skies are grinning, street lights are spinning The night is just beginning, and then it comes on strong It comes on strong, and I am lifted, I am lifted, I am lifted! CHORUS Oh it comes on strong, and I am lifted. It comes on strong, and I am lifted. I am lifted, I am lifted! CHORUS Oh, I can't get down Oh no, no, no, no, no, I can't get down Oh-oh-oh I can't get down
