lyrics

Backwards Upside Down
© by Richard Bowdon

All my taxes been collected / and my manuscripts rejected
All my carry-ons inspected / with a frown
I've been diagnosed diverted / and routinely disconcerted
Seems like everything I do is upside down

Upside down (upside down) / turned around (turned around)
It's like saying that the devil's glory bound (you know he ain't)
Just like Christmas in July or flocks of pigs up in the sky
Since you left my life is backwards upside down

All my songs are under-rated / and my paychecks are post-dated
Even mama said I'd better leave this town
Son each day you're gettin' older / you'd be better off in Boulder
Where the law on marijuana's upside down

All my foil's heavy duty / all my ice cream's tutti frutti
And I do my best to not act like a clown
Yes I always try to please you no I never taunt or tease you
Why'd you flip me on my backside upside down
