Upside Looking Down |
| Well, you came on like some blazing supernova |
| With a flame that burned so brightly in the sky |
| Then you woke up and your long white night was over |
| And you cursed the world that dared to pass you by |
| So now you blame the ones who love you for your sorrows |
| Dealing dirty while you steal the higher ground |
| But you cheated and you lied and life took you for a ride |
| Now you’re standing on the upside looking down |
| And O, the hero in disguise |
| Believing his own alibis |
| You run so scared, you’re standing still |
| I know you are, I know you will |
| Be the first to call it quits and run for cover |
| While your little world is crumbling all around |
| But you punked out on yourself, you can’t blame nobody else |
| And now that you’re standing on the upside looking down |
| And O, the heartache of the thief |
| Strung out on his own stash of grief |
| A line for you, a flake for me |
| But now it’s ancient history |
| As the sky is turning black and glassing over |
| As you drift so high above the lights of town |
| All at once it seems so clear, you can see it all from here |
| When you’re standing on the upside looking down |
