Upside Down Lyrics

Guns are firing, in the hills. Echo like two clapping hands

Lovers lying very still, staring at a wedding band

Ugly Princess and the Royal staff, breaking bonds of trust

Someone ought to make them laugh before their cracked lips start to rust

Upside down and inside out, right side up and outside in

I haven't got an axe to grind; I only want to be your friend

Frogs are dancing on the moon, the crickets rub their eyes

Hoot owl sings Bob Dylan tunes, while the Tomcats harmonize

Wealthy banker robbed the bank, while the farmers begged for food

Piece of driftwood finally sank, with a Tom Waits attitude

Upside down and inside out, right side up and outside in

I haven't got an axe to grind; I only want to be your friend

The Prince was tearing off his crown, beggar selling stocks and bonds

Straight man had to turn around, to watch the wise man hunting blondes

Where's the story? What's the plot? Where's the moral to this rhyme

I can't tell you, I forgot. Stolen moments are such a crime

Upside down and inside out, right side up and outside in

I haven't got an axe to grind; I only want to be your friend

Wish I had a tale to tell. Wish I had a yarn to spin

Wish I hadn't wished you well. Wish my heart weren't paper-thin

Sober wino, wisest fool, darkest light, softest rock

Calmest panic, loosest rule, I seen 'em all went into shock

Upside down and inside out, right side up and outside in

I haven't got an axe to grind; I only want to be your friend

Running around this old dog track, running a race that I can't win

Found my way to where I am. Turns out it's where I've been

Where's the frenzy? Why the maze? Can't you see I've lost my sight

Morning came; I finally found my gaze, I woke up and said good-night

The world is spinning backwards now; the rain falls up and makes no sound

I think of you and wonder how everything turned upside down
