Beat Is Up

The trick to happiness

Is to ignore anything negative you might feel about yourself

That people don't really like you that much

That you've got fat because you're lonely

Or that your parents are going to die

I like to get my coffee

With all the little frothy things on the side

And I like to put in those little sticks

The trick to freedom is to deny your past regrets

Questionable lovers

Lies

Drunken weekends

I just like to have a lotta energy

My life demands it

Everything's up, all the time

Up, up, up

What's the beat, the beat is up, ah

What's the beat, the beat is up, ah

What's the beat, the beat is up, ah

How high to the sky?

What's the beat, the beat is up, ah

What's the beat, the beat is up, ah

What's the beat, the beat is up, ah

How high to the sky?

People like positive people

Positivity makes good things happen

My husband doesn't let me buy those tabloid magazines

'Cause he says that it makes me fight with him more

Pills that you mix with wine

That your husband and you aren't having sex any more

That you got married for the money

It's been positively proved

That most Top 40 hits have a BPM of 120 or more

I definitely like the gin-sing

And the gingko balboa

What's the beat, the beat is up, ah

What's the beat, the beat is up, ah

What's the beat, the beat is up, ah

How high to the sky?

What's the beat, the beat is up, ah

What's the beat, the beat is up, ah

What's the beat, the beat is up, ah

How high to the sky?

Sometimes you picture yourself getting impaled

On an imaginary spike sticking out from over your bed

When you keep forgetting to call somebody back

But the more time goes by, the less you feel like calling

Because you're embarrassed

'Cause it kind of makes you freaky

And you don't want people to think you're freaky

Even though you are kind of freaky

But only in the bedroom

L-O-L

My mom says I'm really hard on my kids

I don't want them growing up thinking

That everything's just gonna be handed to them

They're gonna have to work their asses off just like I did

You know, we get them up at six in the morning

We're like,
