When you were a kid you received no good instruction
|
And your mother was nowhere to be found
|
The lies were yelled and the truth was seldom spoken
|
That's what you get when Margaret comes to town
|
She likes to keep things upside down
|
When Margaret comes to town
|
When your thoughts are twisted and distorted
|
And your children are forced to choose sides and lie down
|
And the keeper is screaming drunk running around naked
|
It's for your pleasure
|
When Margaret comes to town
|
She likes to keep things upside down
|
When Margaret comes to town
|
Oh, but those who believe in her
|
They cut off their noses to spite their faces
|
Leaving you the little one scared and lonely
|
Who really cares about you now
|
So if you see her coming man you'd better take cover
|
She stays down at the dark end of a frown
|
And just like the sirens that are so sweetly singing
|
It's better just to leave when Margaret comes to town
|
When Margaret comes to town
|
She likes to keep things upside down
|
When Margaret comes to town
|
She likes to keep things upside down
|
When Margaret comes to town
|
