The Easy Up Then Down

Lyric video is OUT!

‘The Easy Up Then Down’ hatte ich schon vor ein paar Monaten digital veröffentlicht. Der Song wird schließlich auf einem neuen DD-Album erscheinen, sobald ich die restlichen Tracks aufgenommen und fertiggestellt habe. Ich hatte mir diesmal vorgenommen, zu jedem neuen Track, den ich veröffentliche, ein Video in irgendeiner Form fertigzustellen. Also habe ich hierzu ein wenig herumexperimentiert – das ist dabei herausgekommen… Viel Spaß!

I released this track a couple of months ago. It will eventually be on a new DD album once I get the rest of the tracks recorded and finished. I made a promise to myself to put together a video of some sort for every new track I release this time.
So I've been playing around with this one and here's what I came up with....
Enjoy.

The Easy Up Then Down

She was the girl who put a smile on your face
Back when everything was never enough.
She had the patience for all of your stories,
Back when you never could shut up.
She had the eyes you’d want to see at the end of the line,
Before the lights go out.
But when she got in trouble, you were caught up in something,
Playing for time but never really around.

Then the rent, the rent came in,
Years were lost to the wind—
You could never understand.
Just let the chips fall where they may,
Uninvolved, never meant to stay.
Ah, what do you say?

For all the things you wanted,
For all the runaround,
This dream won’t last forever—
The easy up, then down.

These were the times we thought they never would end,
And so we tried so hard to piss them away.
But gone are the days of wasting so much time,
Wondering what in the fuck to say?

Then the war, the war broke out,
Joker’s free, people shout—
There’s no time for fooling ’round.
Now we keep our heads down low,
Over by the access road.
Oh, what do we know?

For all the things you wanted,
For all this runaround,
This dream can’t last forever—
The easy up, then down.

For all the shit between us,
Pack up your sticks and stones.
As we fade into the night sky,
Kid, you’re only skin and bones.

For all the things we wanted,
For all the turnarounds,
This dream, it won’t last forever—
The easy up, then down.
