Kurt Deemer (Band) - Don't Look Down 03:39
lyrics
buy track
Don’t Look Down Just keep looking up, no don’t you look down When the going get’s rough, hush don’t make a sound Just hush baby don’t make a sound Just keep looking up, no don’t you look down Just a run of bad luck on your way out of town I don’t give a --- if there’s anyone around We ain’t so tough when it all breaks down Just hush baby don’t make a sound Sometimes nothing goes right Everywhere you go you just find a fight And the shallows hold you And the shadows scold you And the night draws near Just keep looking up, no don’t you look down You’d miss so much now you’re upward bound With your eye on the prize and your head in the clouds Just blow a kiss to us let your feet leave the ground Just hush baby, hush baby just keep looking up Don’t you look down

lyrics

World Upside Down Can you count the cost when the truth was lost All you knew was tempest tossed Spinning what’s real into fake so surreal The only good news is no news at all Tonight the world turned upside down Only love can save us now Send the children to school in a bulletproof suit Build a bubble everywhere Make it climate controlled with a filter and a mute ‘Cause there’s something in the air Tonight the world turned upside down Only love can save us now Standing up before they shoot us down Only love can save us C’mon shine, shine on World upside down I know it starts with me setting my own self free Being the change I want to see But we really need youth to do what you do C’mon meet me out in the street Tonight the world turned upside down Only love can save us now Pass the torch with this hand-me-down Only love can save us C’mon shine, shine on World upside down

lyrics

Real Deal I ate my pie in the sky I ate my pie in the sky Then I was finally satisfied Am I satisfied? I live my life just like it’s all mine I live my life just like it’s all mine Then I can’t cry because I’m running out of time We’re all running out of time Can you feel what’s real? Can you feel what’s real? What’s real? I spray-painted your name behind my eyelids I spray-painted your name behind my eyelids Yours the sweetest kiss I ever took Now you’re everywhere I look You’re everywhere I look Can you feel what’s real? Can you feel what’s real? What’s real? I ate my pie in the sky I ate my pie in the sky Then I, my friend, I’d do it all again I’d do it all again

lyrics

Kalamazoo You walked from Kalamazoo With a pebble in your shoe Only to realize There ain’t no fools prize You kept the fire burning Through the night You kept the fire burning Until you get it right You mapped a thousand ways Deeper into the maze But what you found inside Was how to shine your light And keep the fire burning Through the night Keep the fire burning Until you get it right Dreaming of everything Expecting nothing Leaving a trail of crumbs Sowing the seeds of love After an age of tears A desert rose appears You walked from kalamazoo With a pebble in your shoe But you were not alone When you made your way home They kept the fire burning Through the night They kept the fire burning They keep up the fight

lyrics

Bittersweet Peering through dirty windows To see what you can see Behind the blinds Between the painted lines Falling so slowly Into her mystery She is revealed When you believe Oh oh tears fall like rain Start all over again Ain’t she bittersweet Followed the map to nowhere Swallowed the key Untangled every fear She became clear And when she swims She ripples everything You treasure nothing When she sings Oh oh tears fall like rain The winds of change are blowing again Pick up the pieces from going insane Start all over Start all over Ain’t she bittersweet She becomes real when you drink her tears Ain’t she bittersweet

lyrics
buy track
Take a Chance When the sky comes falling down And the seas overflow And you know the end is near You, sometimes you gotta take a chance When the deserts, they encroach And the sands of time have blown And you know the end is here You, sometimes you gotta take a chance Take a chance When the sky comes falling down And the seas they overflow And you know they end is here You, sometimes you gotta take a chance Take a chance
