I'm not surprised it's come to this
|
Sooner or later there must be another's kiss
|
Behind that kiss a promise of a life of bliss
|
Yeah, great
|
I won't be takin' the bait
|
I'd rather drown
|
And I will not turn my whole life upside down
|
|
Imagine everything you've done
|
Under a microscope on view for everyone
|
And if the King of Circumspection's here
|
He's come in vain
|
I won't be sharing the blame
|
I wear the crown
|
And I will not turn my whole life upside down
|
|
Nothing's good enough for me
|
To shake me from complacency
|
I make my mind up and I'll never be
|
|
The kind of man who'd make a choice
|
For if I hold my tongue I'll never lose my voice
|
If each attempted act of sabotage destroys all hope
|
I won't be needing a rope
|
I'm gagged and bound
|
And I will not turn my whole life upside down
|
|
And if the genie were set free
|
And by the laws of things like that, he's indebted to me
|
I'd bury my three wishes
|
deep down in the ground
|
So I will not turn my whole life upside down
|
|
Though I appreciate the aim
|
Tell Andy Warhol's ghost that he can keep his fame
|
I'd only use it to make everything the same again
|
So don't applaud till the end
|
I'm not around
|
Cause I will not turn my whole life upside down
|
|
Nothing's good enough for me
|
To shake me from complacency
|
I've made my mind up
|
I won't make a sound
|
And I will not turn my whole life upside down
|
