I got lost along the way
And I don't know what to say
I felt lonely without much hope
Now here we are

As the years and seasons passed
I could see the clear contrast
What I needed in my life
You could not give

Still I tried in many ways
Though I felt the slow decay
I was driven by desire
To fill the void

(Chorus)
I keep trying but have no luck
Can you tell me which way is up?
I know I shouldn't give a fuck
But it feels like I'm really stuck
Now I'm falling and thunderstruck
Can you tell me which way is up?
Which way is up?
Which way is up?
Which way is up?
Which way is up?
I keep trying but have no luck
Won't you tell me which way is up?


We were young and starting out
That's what we were all about
Passion ruled our days and nights
We were in love

We had fun and liked to share
We made love without a care
Every day was a new gift
To be enjoyed

Soon the cracks began to show
They were worse than we would know
The foundation that we had
Was weakening

(Chorus)
I keep trying but have no luck
Can you tell me which way is up?
I know I shouldn't give a fuck
But it feels like I'm really stuck
Now I'm falling and thunderstruck
Can you tell me which way is up?
Which way is up?
Which way is up?
Which way is up?
Which way is up?
I keep trying but have no luck
Won't you tell me which way is up?


Looking back as lessons learned
Human touch was what I yearned
When it was no longer there
I was lonely

Slowly over many years
Through the downs and many tears
I knew things would never change
I felt helpless

A ray of hope came my way
Sadness soon was kept at bay
It wasn't like the real thing
But it saved me

(Chorus)
I keep trying but have no luck
Can you tell me which way is up?
I know I shouldn't give a fuck
But it feels like I'm really stuck
Now I'm falling and thunderstruck
Can you tell me which way is up?
Which way is up?
Which way is up?
Which way is up?
Which way is up?
I keep trying but have no luck
Won't you tell me which way is up?

I keep trying but have no luck
Can you tell me which way is up?
I know I shouldn't give a fuck
But it feels like I'm really stuck
Now I'm falling and thunderstruck
Can you tell me which way is up?
Which way is up?
Which way is up?
Which way is up?
Which way is up?
I keep trying but have no luck
Won't you tell me which way is up?
