Switzerland's been wierd since they unplugged the clocks
                                
Man and a woman in Brooklyn Heights

Each convinced the other's in the wrong

While last year the divorce rate trippled in Hong Kong


If through all the madness

We can stick together
                        
We're safe and sound
                                      
The world's just inside out and upside down

Motorcycle gangs ride naked down Hollywood Boulevard


If through all the madness

We can stick together
                        
We're safe and sound
                                      
The world's just inside out and upside down

                      
Marahaj wants you to lead a pilgrimage to Tibet
                                                                   
New York women want me sounding off like a Suffragette
                          
I know that each of us is all alone in the end
                                                         B#
But the trip still feels less dangerous when you've got a friend


If through all the madness

We can stick together, you and me forever
                        
We're safe and sound
                                      
The world's just inside out and upside down
                                      
The world's just inside out and upside down
