On The Up Lyrics - One Way System

On the up! 

Did you shout? -- thought I heard 

Dig the line, reality works 

Two hours before, I end my walk 

1000 yards -- what for? What for? 

On the up -- That intra feeling 

Ain't lost my tongue -- Just licked the ceiling 

Coming down -- In extremis 

Excuse the silence -- It sees me through this 

On the up -- That intra feeling 

Ain't lost my tongue -- Just licked the ceiling 

Coming down -- In extremis 

Excuse the silence -- It sees me through this 

A jacket full, my secrets inside 

Constant sweat, constant lies 

Thought I'd call -- you're never there 

Spread your line and disappear -- disappear 

On the up -- That intra feeling 

Ain't lost my tongue -- Just licked the ceiling 

Coming down -- In extremis 

Excuse the silence -- It sees me through this 

On the up -- That intra feeling 

Ain't lost my tongue -- Just licked the ceiling 

Coming down -- In extremis 

Excuse the silence -- It sees me through this 

From my side, gaunt and thin 

Can't be arsed, constantly said 

So in control, why the lies? 

Force of habit, rules your life -- rules your life 

On the up -- That intra feeling 

Ain't lost my tongue -- Just licked the ceiling 

Coming down -- In extremis 

Excuse the silence -- It sees me through this 

On the up -- That intra feeling 

Ain't lost my tongue -- Just licked the ceiling 

Coming down -- In extremis 

Excuse the silence -- It sees me through this
