Lyrics

[Verse 1] Oh draw the curtains, honey, raise the blinds I wanna show ya what you shoulder to me Kick the dawn, take a walk outside And you could feel it in the evening breeze I wanna tell you, well It's alright [Verse 2] Well all the senses that have laid you down Well all the thoughts that flip around in your head Well there's an easy way to turn around No need to turn 'em all off instead I wanna show you how [Chorus] The world on a string It don't mean a thing Unless it can swing you around When the top's on the ground It's all upside-down It don't mean a god damn thing [Verse 3] So pat your laces honey, turn the tide I wanna give you what you gave to me Oh there's a way to leave it all behind But there's a lot to conjure back to see I wanna tell you, well [Chorus] The world on a string It don't mean a thing Unless it can swing you around When the top's on the ground It's all upside-down It don't mean a god damn thing [Interlude] What ever happened to the lovers' sound? Lyin' on your back, lookin' at the sky, well Is it me or this whole damn town? It seems like everybody here's gone hypnotized You're an intellectual, born before your time A million ideas locked in the back of your mind Look to yourself, the way your heart really lies Well it's dancing on the shoulders of a melody line [Instrumental Break] [Verse 4] So turn it loose, honey, burn the straw I wanna shake ya like you shook up me You got it all, but there's so much more You gotta find the right eyes to see it Let me show ya how [Chorus] The world on a string It don't mean a thing Unless it can swing you around When the top's on the ground It's all upside-down It don't mean a god damn thing And the world on a string It don't mean a thing Unless it can swing you around When the top's on the ground It's all upside-down It don't mean a god damn thing
