The Downer Dance (song)


You put one foot in
Then you take it back
Then you step back twice
Till you’re off the map
It’s an endless cycle
Of getting worse as you go
.
You gotta get it right
Gotta be enough
But each backwards step
Makes you feel so stuck
It’s an endless cycle
Of getting worse as you go
.
So do the downer dance
Come on, shake your hands
Like you’re in a trance
Oh, you don’t advance
Now you’re stuck at the bottom;
The bottom feels like home
.
You think you got it down
But you need to know
The downer dance is made
So you’ll never grow
Like you’ve two left feet
You’re falling down once again
.
So do the downer dance
Come on, shake your hands
It’s like you’re in a trance
Oh, you don’t advance
It’s getting hard to stand
Getting dizzy fast
Because the downer dance
Isn’t built to last
And if you’ve made it this far
Then do it all again
.
Do the downer dance
Come on, shake your hands
It’s like you’re in a trance
And you can’t advance
So do the downer dance
Fall and don’t advance
Do the downer dance
