Jason Falkner Upside Down Frown Lyrics

There is only a test of the Emergency Broadcasting
System on my muted tv
Everyone I've ever met and some I haven't met just yet
are tossing and turning me in my motel bed

The neon outside my window's buzzing and blinking, it
mocks me as it keeps me from my dreams
It's 4 a.m. you guess it I'm touring again you're right
I'm screwed 'cause I can't get my sleep

Will you tell me what I need
Can you break the monotony?
Life goes on at such a speed
There are no guarantees for me

I pick at my food some more, pretend it tasted good
before - and that's a bad idea
Well I'd make a big mess, tear up the place and shake
my chest, but then I'd be just another casualty
Go and take a cold shower that ends up lasting an hour,
quick mirror check - is that face really me?

Should you feel responsible
For a stranger's happiness? Did I really connect with you
is this another test for me?

So Mr. Manager said gotta get my ass out of bed to
clean the room, he's gonna change his tune
I just gotta move, get off the floor, get out the door
and get myself with those pretty young things
Breathe in, breath out, give my soul something to think
about you know all I need is someone to feed
Be a stranger on your town, turning frowns upside-down,
follow me, oh, if you like what you see

Will you tell me what I need
Can you break the monotony?
Life goes on at such a speed
There are no guarantees for me

Should you feel responsible
For a stranger's happiness?
Did I really connect with you
Or is this another test for me?

Will you tell me what I need
Can you break the monotony?
Life goes on, or so it seems
There are no guarantees
