Lose That Frown Lyrics

Up for you is down so let's go into town, I'll make you lose that frown

You're a disappointed dreamer in a cell without bars

Surrounded by regrets while writing fictitious memoirs

But you get a serotonin hit from seeing planets and their moons and the stars

Polaris, Sirius, Jupiter, Io, Saturn, Titan, Rhea, Venus and Mars

So we went to the crossroads and listened to Delta blues

It was a hot late summer and we drank and we sang along to Mississippi blues

They were the best of times and we dreamed and we danced and we screamed "this is forever"

But time catches up then there's no time to be together, we'd reached the end of our good weather

Up for you is down so let's go into town, I'll make you lose that frown

You shared all your secrets, you bared your battle scars

I said you're sounding strong but clearly you're really still scared

And in no time we're off down that well-worn path from confession to denial

But you and me, we agreed to kick against the pricks, resistance is never futile

Up for you is down so let's go into town, I'll make you lose that frown

Yeah you became unsure and unstable

An unreliable witness, witless and incapable

You defer your choices to the horde

You prefer to hide your voice within the horde

Up for you is down so let's go into town, I'll make you lose that frown x 2

That's a serious frown so let's get the next bus into town

I'll pay your fare, it's only fair, how does that sound?
