Upward Dog

Sunlight peeking through a hole in the clouds
 The sign on the tree house says "No Girls Allowed"
 Everything seems as it should be
 And yet there's something wrong
 It's not all that it could be
 For a would-be upward dog
 One night it occurred to me in my bed
 All these doubts and uncertainties, they're all in your head
 Trying break this downward spiral
 You wake up in a fog
 Your mistakes are going viral
 But turn your smile upward dog
 Ooooh
 Upward dog
 Always taking the high road
 Ridding your mind of these jaded disciples
 Picking the world up by the scruff of the neck
 Spending every day like it was a blank cheque
 Go get 'em upward dog
 Sunlight breaking through a cloud in my mind
 The sign on the dollhouse reads "No Boys Inside"
 Everybody's up and at 'em
 Or else they're sawing logs
 If you can't join 'em beat 'em
 Go get 'em upward dog
 Ooooh
 Upward dog
 Never taking the low road
 Ridding your mind of these train-hopping hobos
 Picking the world up by the scruff of the neck
 Not wasting every day like it's all a stacked deck
 Love beckons upward dog
 Everybody's up and at 'em
 Or else they're sawing logs
 If you can't join 'em beat 'em
 Go get 'em upward dog
 Ooooh
 Upward dog
 Always taking the high road
 Ridding your mind of these jaded disciples
 Picking the world up by the scruff of the neck
 And not facing everyday like it was a train wreck
 Go get 'em upward dog
