Upside Down

Lyrics

[Verse 1] A little tear rolled down my forehead And landed on the ceiling far below Yesterday I thought it was funny Today I say that's just the way these things go Well, sombody's crawling through my kitchen Down on his hands and knees He looked up at me and he smiled that smile Like a mouth full of black-eyed peas [Chorus] Well, I never have seen the early bird I never did rise and shine And it may have to be over your dead body When I come to get what's mine If you wait for a good breeze to blow through the orchard The peaches just fall to the ground And the early bird may get the worm But for the second mouse They're gonna throw that red carpet down [Bridge] Everything's a little upside down Laying on my back, staring up at the ground I've been sleeping like a bat underneath my bed Wearing out a hole in the top of my head [Verse 2] Well, I've got a poison headache I've got a poison pen I've got the poise of a debutant All dressed in black out by the back garbage bin Is the bottle half full or half empty? Hand it over if you really want to know 'Cause I've been drinkin' from the tree of knowledge And I'm runnin' about a half quart low [Chorus] Well, I never have seen the early bird I never did rise and shine And it may have to be over your dead body When I come to get what's mine If you wait for a good breeze to blow through the orchard The peaches just fall to the ground And the early bird may get the worm But for the second mouse They're gonna throw that red carpet down And the early bird may get the worm But for the second mouse They're gonna throw that red carpet down
