Downside Up Lyrics by Professor Elemental

School of Whimsy

0

[Professor Elemental]
Oh
You were riding high on a cloud
And then you dive and you're upside down
Out in the cold
Oh my, why now
Suddenly you climb into the night like wow

If the weather’s fine without the light showers
You can count on a downpour inside an arrow
A particular pickle
An unpredictable tickle
Like if you sit on a prickle
The trick is to give a giggle

The trick is to live a little
The difference is a riddle that sits within all of us
Cause life is so strange
Like Clark in a crisis
It's time to go change

[Ella Jean]
So when in doubt
When you don't know what’s up
(Oh, oh)
They make you want more
When you got it all
Make you feel out of luck
They stole your halo
But you can still rise above
Just remember what you love

I said just remember
(Just remember) (Just remember)
What you love
(Love) (Love) (Love)

[Professor Elemental]
Decide not to give a life to the company
Hoping to retire
Live it up in luxury
If you get tired
You'll be fired so suddenly
Work life balances
Lies
Ugly

Peace to those who've had it worse than most
Indie auto but learn to float
Defeated in a demons
Hurts and ghosts
We should know freedom gives a perfect glow

It's all change
Not always for the better
Kings become paupers despite all efforts
Stars might end up in a call center
I live a pirates life
All treasure

Never ever waste a precious second second-guessing
Even awful things can be an interesting lesson
Never let your head get too fat for your hat size
'Cuz you never know when you can end up capsized

[Ella Jean]
So when in doubt
When you don't know what's up
(Oh, oh)
They make you want more
But you got it all
Make you feel out of luck
They stole your thunder
But you can still rise above
Just remember what you love

I said just remember
(Just remember) (Just remember)
What you love
(Love) (Love) (Love)

Ooh

So when in doubt
When you don't know what’s up
They make you want more
But you got it all
’Cuz they don't know what’s up
You don't have a penny
But you got what you love
So remember what you love

I said just remember
(Just remember) (Just remember)
What you love
(Love) (Love) (Love)
