[Verse 1]

Stop you're looking miserable

Can't be bothered getting up today

My future's looking positive

No one even picked on me today


[Verse 2]

So you tested negative

Panic in your bedsit goes away

You convert to Scientology

To feel a part of something once again


[Chorus]

I look downwards

I look downwards

Feeling negative

Looking negative

I see downwards

I see downwards

I look downwards

I see negative

Feeling negative

Looking downwards


[Verse 3]

Have you ever told a lie to hide a lie

Shame on you, you've compromised again

'Cos things are closing in on you

Not so far away as they may seem


[Verse 4]

Have you ever told a lie to hide a lie

Shame on you, you've compromised again

And things are closing in on you

Not as far away as they may seem


[Chorus 2]

I look downwards

I see downwards

Seeing negative

Are you negative

I see downwards

I look downwards

I see downwards

Feeling negative

Seeing negative

Looking downwards


[Bridge]

Someone nudged me in the street

Someone looked at me twice

Now I'm negative

Someone nudged me in the street

Someone poked me in the eye

Now I'm negative


[Chorus 3]

I look downwards

I look downwards

Feeling negative

Seeing negative

I feel downwards

I see downwards

I see downwards

Feeling negative

Negative

Downwards


[Chorus 4]

I look downwards

I see downwards

Feeling negative

Negative

Downwards

I feel downwards

I see downwards

Looking negative

Seeing negative

Looking downwards
