The Upside Down

This started a long time ago before you were even conscious
Force-fed fog and thunder that’s blocking the way
It’s time to choose, to tune in to your future self
Clear the way, raise the frequency
Live from now as if it were already here
And when you do, it will be your making
We welcome you to the broken-down city
The ground’s not green and the girls aren’t pretty
We welcome you to the upside down
Your Mum’s in charge
Your pants are down
We welcome you to the broken-down city
Your house is on fire, your kids are shitty
We welcome you to the upside down
You can’t get out
There’s no way round
If it’s not free will then why not?
It’s because you’re generation’s deep how could it be free will?
You don’t get to decide, you’re just acting
The great thing is you can choose how you act
Hear that feedback inside your head
Feel the feeling and pause
It's as simple as take a moment before you react
Now you’re listening
This is the beginning for you
We welcome you to the broken-down city
The ground’s not green, the girls aren’t pretty
We welcome you to the upside down
Your Mum’s in charge
Your pants are down
We welcome you to the broken-down city
Your house is on fire, your kids are shitty
We welcome you to the upside down
You can’t get out
You can’t get out
You can’t get out
There’s no way round

Snow White

The hottest girl you’d ever seen
Her fella sold a magazine
Now they keep it on the low
Spend the evenings on the blow
The weekends in the sunshine
Her fella couldn’t pay the rent
Spite’ a new mistress that he’s been sent
Now they’re waiting on the drive for the fellas to arrive
She couldn’t take it easy
You’re all so easy now
(She’s all so easy)
Oh you’re all so easy
Waiting on the guy that can give them back her snow white
The fella tried a different way
Decides he wants to work away
But he’s too afraid to fly
Took a dusting in the sky
He’s living in the Sing Sing
Now she tries a different life
Now she’s snorted all her fellas wealth
And she’s living in a dive
Hand to mouth to try and survive
She couldn’t take it easy
You’re all so easy now
(She’s all so easy)
You’re all so easy now
(She’s all so easy)
Oh you’re all so easy
Waiting on the guy that can give them back her snow white

The Answer
And I’ll sit here, sitting on the edge of an answer
No better than the other you have
I’ll wait here, sitting on the edge of a red brick wall
And I’ll still see you there
Waiting on my hero
You used to spend time here
Waiting on my star to fall
And I’ll sit here, sitting on the edge of an answer
No better than the other you have
I’ll wait here, sitting on the edge of a red brick wall
And I’ll still see you there
Waiting on my hero
You used to spend time here
Waiting on my star to fall
My hero has kept me waiting
I still see you there
Still see you there
Still see you there
Still see you there
Still see you there
Stand outside I’m coming alive
Stand outside I’m waiting for my hero
Stand outside I’m coming alive
Stand outside I’m waiting for my hero
My hero has kept me waiting

Cabaret

I met her in an old cafe
A place you wouldn’t go
She had a lot of things to say
Things I shouldn’t know
Cabaret
Cabaret
The cabaret
The cabaret
Now the money's changing hands
Striking out the deal
I’m staring into outer space
Don’t know how I feel
Cabaret
Cabaret
The cabaret
The cabaret
Meet me at the cabaret, cabaret
Meet me at the cabaret, cabaret
Life is like an open book
Enjoy it while you can
I go back to that old cafe
And where it all began
Cabaret
Cabaret
The cabaret
The cabaret
Meet me at the cabaret, cabaret
Meet me at the cabaret, cabaret
Meet me at the cabaret
Meet me at the cabaret
Meet me at the cabaret
Meet me at the cabaret

The Mother

She's got thighs of steel and she does things you've never seen
She loves a drummer in the band wants to play with his tamborine
Her dads made of money wants to spend it on getting high
She's in a room full of girls and she'll never let you catch her eye
Grab yourself an alibi
Says she's coming back tonight
Waiting for the change
I turn my back for a minute and she's gone with another
Turn my back for a minute and I'm left with her Mother
Her Mother's acting strange
She says I'm not a bird of prey and she doesn't want to play
Then she whispers in my ear, you can take me down anyway
I put a ring on the Mother now the daughter wants to call me dad
So we sing to each other, when I catch her eye it makes her sad
She's got a room full of pleasure, got a room full of worn out toys
And there's cushions on the door so the mother cannot hear the noise
Grab myself an alibi
Says she's coming back tonight... oh she wants me
Waiting for the change
I turn my back for a minute and she's gone with another
Turn my back for a minute and I'm left with her Mother
Her Mother's acting strange
She says I'm not a bird of prey and she doesn't want to play
She whispers in my ear, you can take me down anyway
Grab myself an alibi
Says she's coming back tonight... oh she wants me
Waiting for the change
I turn my back for a minute and she's gone with another
Turn my back for a minute and I'm left with her mother
Her Mother's acting strange
She says I'm not a bird of prey and she doesn't want to play
She whispers in my ear you can take me down anyway
