Upside Down

Music and Lyrics by Tori Amos


God I love to turn my little blue world upside down
God I love to turn my little blue world upside down
Inside my head the noise
Chatter, chatter, chatter, chatter, chatter
You see I'm afraid I'll always be
Still coming out of my mother upside down

Don't you love to turn this little blue girl upside down?
Oh I know you love to turn this little blue girl baby upside down
But my heart it says
You been shatter, shatter, shatter, shatter, shattered
And I know you're still a boy
Still coming out of your mother

But when you gonna stand on your own?
I say the world is sick
You say "Tell me what that makes us darlin'"
You see, you always find my faults
Faster than you find your own
You say the world is getting rid of her demons
I say "Baby what have you been smoking?"

Well I dreamed, I dreamed...
I dreamed I loved a black boy 
My daddy would scream
Oh yeah

Don't you love to turn this little blue girl upside down?
Any kind of touch I think is better than none even upside down
But you see I'm tangled up
Got a kitten, kitten, kitten, kitten in my hair
Cincinnati, I like the word
It's the only thing we can seem to turn upside down

Well I found (found) the secret (secret) to life
I found (found) the secret to life (secret of life)
I'm okay when everything is not okay
I said I found (found) the secret (secret) to life 
I found (found) the secret to life (secret of life)
I'm okay when everything is not okay
Is not okay

Oh, we turn and we turn our little blue world upside down
I said, don't we love to turn our little blue world baby upside down?
Inside my head a voice
Chatter, chatter, chatter, chatter, chatter
And it says "Girl you're all the same
Still coming out of your mothers
Still coming out of your mothers upside down"
