Louis Barabbas - Welcome to the Upside Down текст песни

Исполнитель: Louis Barabbas

альбом: Jocasta: A Musical Tragedy (Original Score)


Ignore the clocks ticking and chiming
I warn you don't ever take their bait
Round here it don't matter what the time is
Because round here it's always too late
Some towns chew you up
This one digests you slow
You might as well just give up
It'll never let go
I've been searching all evening
For a game that ain't rigged
There's only one way of leaving
Get a shovel and dig
Welcome to the upside down
Welcome to the inside out
You won't find many new ideas in this town
No one ever thought to try one out
They built things to last
They didn't build them to work
The funny thing about the past
It has a tendency to lurk
Around every corner
And down every drain
Rising up to warn you
Again and again
Welcome to the upside down
Welcome to the last silver of soap
There ain't a lot of optimism floating araound
Even the circling vultures have given up hope
We've got low expectations
And high rates of tax
Blood is spilt on occasion
But soon dries in the cracks
It's one long wrong foregone conclusion
This is no longer about fathers and sons
More about worlds that are starting to shrink
Weeping mothers givin suck to their young
Tender as scabs picked down to the pink
This tale is tired of the telling
It don't want to unfold
It's sobbing and yelling
To never ever be retold
While the promises pile up
But nobody's counting
The rivers turn to slop
That ain't fit to drown in
Welcome to the upside down
Welcome to the shadow of the doubt
The house lights have faded now
But that don't mean you can just sit this one out
Everyone here is so proud
And here is so prone
No matter how big the crowd
We still feel alone
How did it ever come to this?
How did it ever come to this?
