Lyrics

Just come back where I came from
Looks the same as something's wrong
And all my friends that used to be
Have gone and turned their backs on me
Everyone's got different views
Now I'm all shook up and all confused

East is west, left is right
Up is down, and black is white
Inside-out, wrong is right
It's back to front and I'm all uptight

I've just come back from fantasy
Right back to reality
Stayed away too long but now I've found
My world is turning upside-down
I don't fit in but I don't stand out
I should stay cool but want to shout

East is west, left is right
Up is down, and black is white
Inside-out, wrong is right
It's back to front and I'm all uptight

No one knows where I come from
"Who are you and what do you want?"
You've thrown away all that we had
It's down the drain, it's all gone mad
The word is out, I've seen the sign
So you go your way, I go mine

East is west, left is right
Up is down, and black is white
Inside-out, wrong is right
It's back to front and I'm all uptight

East is west, left is right
Up is down, and black is white
Inside-out, wrong is right
It's back to front and I'm all uptight (alright)
It's back to front and I'm all uptight (alright, alright, alright, alright)

Are you listening?
(No!)
Well then, I'll have to do it all over again!
