Paddy McMulligan - Crazy Ups and Downs Lyrics

I've got a glass of whiskey in my hand Watching the world burn on my tan
It makes me realize there's a lot of miles Between me and the man I want to be
Yeah, but right now that whiskey burn comes Got me feeling good and blissfully numb
Lately I've been through the gates of hell Got secrets buried and don't want to tell

Riding this never-ending ferris wheel Highs and lows all around this heart
Searching for the man I am on what grounds
Throughout these crazy up and downs There's something missing deep within my soul
A steady battle between me and the world grows old

Reminding me every second I'm not old This past life, it defied me and it took its toll
I can't travel down that road, it's risky So here I sit and beat my thoughts into whiskey
Lately I've been through the gates of hell Got secrets buried and don't want to tell
Riding this never-ending ferris wheel Highs and lows all around this heart

Searching for the man I am on what grounds
Throughout these crazy up and downs
Chasing down a portrait of who I need to be Every night in my restless dreams, oh me
Doesn't seem to matter how hard I try Just can't catch that ghost of me, I don't know why

So tonight before I still go to sleep Let's just beat my thoughts into this whiskey
Let's have a picture of who I need to be Loving dead faithful friends, man, you see
Try to be them all the best I can Chasing the man that I need to be for me
Forcing days gone by into my prison cell My empty glass, I pull a bottle from the shelf

Lately I've been through the gates of hell Got secrets buried and don't want to tell
Riding this never-ending ferris wheel Highs and lows all around this heart
Searching for the man I am on what grounds
Throughout these crazy up and downs

Throughout these crazy up and downs
