Intro

Strange times in Portland, Maine

Lobsters dancing on the docks

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

Flash from Mexico

The Toreadors have all turned gay

Roman whores have quit to seek a better way

Dope has undermined the morale of

The Buckingham Palace guards

 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

 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
