Downhill (Upside Down Optimist) Lyrics by Jeremy Ivey

Invisible Pictures

2022

[Verse 1]
Woke up in the ditch of a bad situation
Last chance for any meaningful salvation
It's been rainin' inside my house
And it's wearin' me down
The headless body is sellin' jokes out of a pick-up
He's the man; if you know how to talk, he can hook you right up
Saw him runnin' around on fire under hypnosis
Smart enough to be a target but he's too dumb to notice
[Chorus]
That it's all downhill from here
Yes, it's all downhill from here
[Verse 2]
Put the blade in me, baby, give it a twist
Everything's impossible when you're locked in the myth
I'm just a joke myself, waitin' to be told
[Chorus]
That it's all downhill from herе
Yes, it's all downhill
[Verse 3]
I weatherеd the sickness with no prognosis
Went to see the seer but she could not focus
She said all of my friends, they're all puttin' on a show
Too old to remember, too young to know
[Chorus]
That it's all downhill from here
Yes, it's all downhill from here
[Bridge]
The upside-down optimist says as he climbs
"Don't you worry about me. This happens all the time."
He's got a bright disposition but he knows how it ends
[Chorus]
'Cause it's all downhill, my friends
Yeah, it's all downhill from here
