UPHILL CLIMB

Seems like the god of bad luck is so gratified he’s found ya
Every time you go out the door calamity surrounds ya
All you’re trying to do is put one foot in front of the other
Now you’re starting to regret you ever departed from your mother

But you’re doin’ fine, it’s an uphill climb
Uphill climb, you’re doin’ fine

At the slightest distraction your concentration shatters
Everything you touch immediately falls into tatters
You’re a creakin’ wreck that should be took out with the trash
You’re the kind of check no sane bank teller would cash

But you’re doin’ fine, it’s an uphill climb
Uphill climb, you’re doin’ fine

I don’t know what’s at the end of the road
I only know what lies beneath it
I don’t know how it will all unfold
But I know I’m bound to hear it and smell it and feel it and breathe it

Half the time you can hardly even string two words together
Where one is not an obscenity and the other’s not some guilty prayer
You can’t remember anything that doesn’t make you fall
Into a whirlpool of dread and rage and nostalgia for it all

But you’re doin’ fine, it’s an uphill climb
Uphill climb, you’re doin’ fine

I don’t know what’s at the end of the road
I just don’t wanna get buried underneath it
Some claim to know how it will all unfold
I guess I’ll see it when I believe it

You’d rather be shot at sunrise than have to make one single decision
You’re tryin’ to get it together but one piece always goes missin’
You’re slippin’ and you’re slidin’ but it’s not in the direction
Of anything you ever thought you could look on with affection

But you’re doin’ fine, it’s an uphill climb
Uphill climb, you’re doin’ fine
