Upside Down

I'm not surprised it's come to this



Sooner or later there must be another's kiss



Behind that kiss a promise of a life of bliss



Yeah, great



I won't be takin' the bait



I'd rather drown



And I will not turn my whole life upside down







Imagine everything you've done



Under a microscope on view for everyone



And if the King of Circumspection's here



He's come in vain



I won't be sharing the blame



I wear the crown



And I will not turn my whole life upside down







Nothing's good enough for me



To shake me from complacency



I make my mind up and I'll never be







The kind of man who'd make a choice



For if I hold my tongue I'll never lose my voice



If each attempted act of sabotage destroys all hope



I won't be needing a rope



I'm gagged and bound



And I will not turn my whole life upside down







And if the genie were set free



And by the laws of things like that, he's indebted to me



I'd bury my three wishes



deep down in the ground



So I will not turn my whole life upside down







Though I appreciate the aim



Tell Andy Warhol's ghost that he can keep his fame



I'd only use it to make everything the same again



So don't applaud till the end



I'm not around



Cause I will not turn my whole life upside down







Nothing's good enough for me



To shake me from complacency



I've made my mind up



I won't make a sound



And I will not turn my whole life upside down
