[Verse 1]

It lifts you up

And then it holds you down

It lifts you up

And then it holds you down

It lifts you up

From one to a zero

A wake for the hero

Before the death occurs

[Chorus]

Lift me up

Reverse

Lift me up then

Reverse

Lift me up

Reverse

[Verse 2]

It lifts you up

And then it holds you down

It lifts you up

And minces your words

Emits from the mouth

Only the softer verbs

[Chorus]

Lift me up

Reverse

Lift me up then

Reverse

Lift me up

Reverse

[Bridge]

And how do I feel it

How does a body sound

Offered a line

And divided in two

Offered a line

To divide you

Are you living now?
